Jekyll & Hyde Cast

Adam El-Zein is in his 8th show with Crestwood drama, and he’s more than excited to put on a show you won’t forget. You may remember him as Frollo from The Hunchback of Notre Dame or Michael from Be More Chill. This club is very special to him as it built the foundation of who he is today, and pushed him to pursue theatre beyond high school. He is thankful for everyone who got him to this point from his friends, family, and teachers who kept pushing him to do better. Getting to this point has been a bumpy road and a hard process but thanks to everyone involved in this production, this show has finally come to light. He thanks you for coming, and he hopes from the bottom of his heart you enjoy the show.
