Jekyll & Hyde - The Musical description Baywatch alum David Hasselhoff stars in the dual title roles of Jekyll and Hyde: The Musical, Frank Wildhorn and Leslie Bricusse's version of Robert Louis Stevenson's gothic horror classic. The story of the brilliant scientist who uncovers the good and evil aspects of the human heart was a pay-per-view event on the Broadway Television Network, filmed on stage before a live audience. If that audience had seen a lot of Broadway shows, they probably didn't see much they hadn't seen before, but its familiar plot and accessible pop score give Jekyll and Hyde a certain appeal, especially for musical novices. Notable songs for Coleen Sexton and Andrea Rivette (as good girl Lucy and bad girl Emma, respectively) include "Someone Like You," "Once Upon a Dream," and the duet "In His Eyes." Hasselhoff cuts an imposing figure but is somewhat unsteady in such anthems as "This Is the Moment," which are tailor-made for big voices (for example, Linda Eder, Wildhorn's wife and the creator of the Lucy role). --David Horiuchi |

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | A brillant show |
| Although Hasselhoff has nothing on Anthony Warlow, Jekyll and Hyde is a real masterpiece. True its music does mimic many previous well know stage musicals but it is still brillant in every sense of the word. Songs like Someone Like You and In His Eyes stand alone as examples of why this musical should not be judge so harshly. Just because it came out after other successes doesn't mean it is attempting to copy them and even if it is it is merely because those shows were hits and who wouldn't want their 'baby' to be a succeed in a pretty harsh business. Clearly it was a big enough success to be on broadway, produced as this dvd and turned into a feature film (coming 2009). So to anyone who hasn't seen the show and wants to see it then WATCH THIS DVD! And the same goes for fans. Until 2009 when the feature film comes out this is a terrific substitute, even if Hasselhoff isn't the greatest Jekyll ever on stage(like I have implied- he did have some tough acts to follow).
Before I finish up let me just add that aside from all this the leading ladies are fabulous in this particular production and worth having a good look and listen to. |
