"Full of humor, astute true-to-life situations, snappy contemporary music, and a message that grabs but doesn't bludgeon. ...A riveting work, a creative means of changing attitudes."
– The Chicago Tribune
"Jekyll and Hyde demonstrates an unusually high degree of workmanship for a show aimed at children (in this case between 10 and 17 years). The book deftly negotiates the tricky transposition of the story from late-19th-century London to a high school in contemporary Cleveland. From the opening number, in which Henry longingly envisions the liberation of 'a very different me,' Mr. Skloff's pop-rock music echoes Andrew Lloyd Webber, scaled-down and Americanized for the occasion. ...Succeeds admirably in maintaining the precarious balance between being fun and conveying its warning against the pitfalls of quick chemical fixes."

"Broadway-caliber songs from the play's stellar creative team."

"A superb contemporary musical. ...Jekyll and Hyde uses humor, music, witty dialogue and familiar situations to help teens see the dangers of substance abuse."
– St. Petersburg Times
