Jekyll & Hyde Monday 11th Novemeber – Saturday 16th November 2019 Doors open at 7pm The epic struggle between good and evil; conscience and primal instincts, is brought to life in the musical phenomenon, Jekyll & Hyde. Based on the classic story by Robert Louis Stevenson and featuring a thrilling score of pop rock hits from multi-Grammy- and Tony-nominated Frank Wildhorn and double-Oscar- and Grammy-winning Leslie Bricusse, Jekyll & Hyde has mesmerized audiences worldwide. The award winning Bishops Stortford Musical Theatre Company are thrilled to present a tale of two men – one, a doctor, passionate and romantic; the other, a terrifying madman – and two women – one, beautiful and trusting; the other, a beautiful lady of the night, trusting only herself. Both fall in love with the same man, unaware of his dark secret. Dr. Henry Jekyll strives to find a chemical breakthrough that can solve some of mankind’s most challenging medical dilemmas, lacking the support of his Governors, decides to make himself the subject of his experimental treatments, unleashing his inner demons along with the man that the world would come to know as Mr. Hyde Parental advisory: Strong subject matter and occasional strong language Tickets available by visiting: www.rhodesartscomplex.ticketsolve.com/shows/873610505/events/129086908 or call 01279 710 200 Please note, booking fees...

Performing Members In order to become a performing member of our Company and take part in our productions you must be able to demonstrate a good vocal ability in singing and strong acting skills. How do we assess this? Firstly, we ask you to fill in a membership application form (see below) and send it to our membership secretary so we can work out if you are right for us and we are the right Company for you. Why do you need to go through this process? We are an amateur company, and it costs us time & money to undertake auditions and we want to ensure we don’t waste anyone’s time. What happens if your application is successfully processed? We will arrange a suitable date and time for your audition. What do you need to do for the audition? We will ask you to sing a song of your choosing; preferably something from the musical theatre genre, and you will be asked to perform a short monologue to assess your acting ability. What happens when you pass the audition? You are a member of our company for as long as you wish to be. Performing members pay £20 a year as a membership subscription, which pays for our administration and our quarterly newsletters. You do not have to perform in every production we undertake but can still remain a member as long as you continue paying your yearly membership If you decide to perform in a particular production, we ask you for a show fee, which is usually £50 for our main November productions, and a smaller amount for our Spring Show. If you wish to have a principle...

About Us
Bishop’s Stortford Musical Theatre Company brings entertainment, enjoyment and relaxation to the people of the town and surrounding villages. The Company puts on two shows each year and consistently achieves an extremely high standard; our orchestra is West End quality – as are our sets and the costumes worn by our cast. For musical talent and spectacle, you cannot find a higher standard locally. Our 2013 Production of Carousel won best musical in the NODA east awards for District 7, and our 2014 production of Jesus Christ Superstar has also been nominated for this prestigious award, yet to be decided. Until 2005 the Company was known as the Bishop’s Stortford Amateur Operatic Society, the original Society being formed in 1913. In that year the Society performed The Duchess of Dantzic in the Great Hall in South Street. Such was the demand for tickets that, although planned for only three nights, a fourth was arranged at 24 hours notice and the hall, which seated 600, was filled to capacity for all performances. After the First World War the Society was revived and their first production was a concert performance of Merrie England. There followed a number of Gilbert & Sullivan operas. In 1929 The Mikado was performed, Followed by Miss Hook of Holland, Dorothy, which included a full pack of hounds on the stage, and the noteworthy occasion when Romany Maid, written and produced by a member of the Society, was performed. These shows provided immense interest in the town, apart from raising many hundreds of pounds for charity. The Society, however, had to disband when the Great Hall was pulled down in the mid 1930’s, robbing the Town of...
