The producers of the Broadway musical revival of “Jekyll & Hyde†announced on Friday that the show would come to a premature end, with its final performance on May 12, after only 15 previews and 30 regular performances at the Marquis Theater. It was scheduled to run until June 30.
Although the production had a 25-week national tour before coming to Broadway, no plans were announced to move it to another location, either on Broadway or elsewhere. It is the latest show with music by Frank Wildhorn to flop on Broadway, a list that includes “The Civil War,†“Dracula,†“Wonderland†and “Bonnie & Clyde.â€
The original production of “Jekyll & Hyde†had more than 1,500 performances from 1997 to 2001, although it, too, failed to make a profit.
