Onstage: Jekyll & Hyde at the Strand

Conceived for the stage by Steve Cuden & Frank Wildhorn 

Book and Lyrics by Leslie Bricusse 

Music By Frank Wildhorn 

Orchestrations by Kim Scharnberg 

Arrangements by Jason Howland 

The epic struggle between good and evil comes to life on stage at the Strand 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 the world over. 

An evocative tale of two men – one, a doctor, passionate and romantic; the other, a 

terrifying madman – and two women – one, beautiful and trusting; the other, 

beautiful and trusting only herself– both women in love with the same man and 

both unaware of his dark secret. A devoted man of science, Dr. Henry Jekyll is 

driven to find a chemical breakthrough that can solve some of mankind's most 

challenging medical dilemmas. Rebuffed by the powers that be, he decides to 

make himself the subject of his own experimental treatments, accidentally 

unleashing his inner demons along with the man that the world would come to 

know as Mr. Hyde.

New Dance film at the Strand

Saturday Film:  Polina

Saturday, October 14 at 7 PM: Polina Trained from an early age by rigorous, perfectionist Professor Bojinski, Polina is a promising classic dancer. She is just about to join the prestigious Bolchoï Ballet when she discovers contemporary dance. That throws everything into question on a profound level. Polina leaves it all behind and moves to France to work with famous choreographer Liria Elsaj. Despite her determination and hard work to the point of obsession, Polina just can't seem to break through. So she moves to Anvers in search of work - and a new life.

MANHATTAN SHORT winners announced!

"8 MINUTES"  Wins 20th MANHATTAN SHORT Film Festival in record breaking year.

8 Minutes" from Georgia was crowned the winner in the 20th Annual MANHATTAN SHORT Film Festival after organizers tallied a record number of votes from audiences in over 300 venues worldwide. "8 Minutes" won the Gold Medal while 

"Viola, Franca" (Italy) claims Silver 

 "Mare Nostrum" (Syria) takes home the Bronze. 

Best Actor

The Best Actor Award was won by Aleksandrs Ronis starring in "Just Go!".

The Strand results were slightly different:

1. 8 Minutes

2. Mare Nostrum

3. Viola Franca

So, the Vicksburg audience chose the same top three films but the order of the second and third place was reversed.

Voting for best actor in Vicksburg was close. Our results put Tarek the barber from Hope Dies Last as our winner, but Aleksandrs from Just Go was right behind him.

Thanks to all who came and made this a great event. And thanks again to Martin's at Midtown for their afterparty.
