Full cast announced for North Shore Music Theatre's upcoming prod

Beverly, MA: Bill Hanney's award-winning North Shore Music Theatre
(NSMT) has announced recording artists, Broadway veterans, and "American
Idol" finalists Constantine Maroulis and Diana DeGarmo will lead the
cast of their upcoming production of Jekyll & Hyde (September 25 –
October7), under the direction of Broadway's original Dr. Jekyll/Mr.
Hyde, Robert Cuccioli.

"We are happy to welcome Constantine Maroulis back to North Shore
Music Theatre after our successful collaboration on last season's
Evita," said Bill Hanney, NSMT owner and producer. "I am also very
excited to have Diana DeGarmo joining the NSMT family. Having enjoyed
her many performances on Broadway and in National Tours over the past
ten years, this was the perfect project to finally feature her talents
on our stage. With this pair of powerhouse performers, under the
direction of Broadway's original Dr. Jekyll, Robert Cuccioli, I know
this team will deliver a thrilling and haunting production of Jekyll
& Hyde that our audiences will remember for a lifetime."

Broadway's Gothic musical thriller, based on Robert Louis
Stevenson's novel of similar name, JEKYLL & HYDE tells the story of
London scientist Dr. Henry Jekyll (played by Constantine Maroulis), who
accidentally creates a potion that changes him into a murderous alter
ego dubbed Edward Hyde. As Hyde's uncontrollable violent rampages
continue, Jekyll must figure out a way to stop the transformations
before it results in deadly consequences for his fiancée, Emma, and Lucy
(played by Diana DeGarmo), a prostitute who has fallen for the doctor.
With a book and lyrics by Leslie Bricusse and music by Frank Wildhorn,
the soaring score features powerful and romantic songs including "This
Is The Moment," "In His Eyes," Someone Like You," and "A New Life."

A two-time Tony nominee, Constantine Maroulis will once again tackle
the role of Dr. Henry Jekyll/Edward Hyde, a role he has played in the
recent Broadway Revival and National Tour, as well as in regional
theatres. Constantine is an accomplished actor, producer, singer and
songwriter best known for his Tony-nominated performance in Broadway's
Rock of Ages and his epic run as a Season 4 finalist during the heyday
of "American Idol." His other Broadway acting credits include The
Wedding Singer and Jekyll & Hyde. Constantine earned a second Tony
Award nomination as a producer of Broadway's revival of Deaf West's
Spring Awakening. Additionally, Constantine has played Judas in the MUNY
production of Jesus Christ Superstar, and Che in the North Shore
production of Evita. Constantine also continues his music career, having
recently joined forces with legendary Guns N' Roses drummer Steven
Adler, touring the world as Adler's Appetite, as well as releasing the
singles, "Here I Come," "She's Just Rock N Roll" and "All About You"
from his upcoming solo album.

Stage, screen, and recording artist Diana DeGarmo will take on the
role of Lucy, the same role she recently played on the Jekyll & Hyde
World Tour. Diana first rose to fame at the age of 16, making it all
the way thru to the finale of Season 3 of "American Idol." She quickly
made the leap to the stage making her Broadway debut at the age of 18
playing Penny in Tony Award-winning musical, Hairspray. She then went on
to play Sheila in the Tony Award-winning revival of Hair. Diana has
appeared off-Broadway in The Toxic Avenger and the revival of The
Marvelous Wonderettes, and headlined the First National Tours of
Brooklyn The Musical and 9 to 5, as well as headlining the recent
National Tour of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, and the
World Tour of Jekyll & Hyde. Diana has appeared in the films Alto,
After the Sun Fell, and The First Ride Of Wyatt Earp and on television
as Angelina on "The Young and the Restless." Diana continues to record
music. Her first single "Dreams" reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100
Singles Chart. Her EP's include "Unplugged in Nashville," "Live to
Love," and her most recent release "Gemini – Volume 1."
