Had an opportunity to see Jekyll & Hyde this past weekend at CAST over in NoDa. I thoroughly enjoy local theater and am always up for checking something new, so was very excited to see the show.
Located in the same building as Amelie's, you head into the theatre area and are completely transported to the show. In this case, it was London, and all the help were speaking in an old-school English accent. The area outside the theatre was teeming with local artwork that you could bid on to purchase, and the drinks/snacks were not over-priced, which was quite refreshing.
The theatre for this show held less than 100 people with seating in a circle around the stage. Doors were positioned around the circle and the actors used all of them, which really made you feel part of the show. The acting was very good; I will definitely be back to take in another production at this theatre.
