Movie Reviews of Jekyll & Hyde - The Musical
Movie Review: Riveting,mesmerizing, and Simply Wonderful!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
BRAVO!!!BRAVO!!!! I am in love with this Broadway musical and all I can say is buy it, buy it, buy it!! David Hasselhof may not be a seasoned Broadway performer, but he did a fabulous job. His acting was great and his transformation from good to evil was convincing and powerful. Granted a song like "This is the Moment" commands a stronger voice,but he still pulled it off and sung it well. He is a convincing Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. You can see it in his face and his emotions. As for the female leads, I am in love with them both. I can't get enough of their voices and appearances. Andrea Rivette is marvelous as Emma and her voice is truly angelic. Her rendition of "Once Upon a Dream" is beautiful. She is Emma through and through. I like her much better than Christine Noll and Carolee Carmello heard and seen on the original Broadway versions. Oh, by the way, Congratulations Andrea and Charles on your recent nuptuials!! Now I must talk about the star and most under rated of the entire cast, Coleen Sexton. I couldn't believe she was only 21 when she played Lucy Harris. Wow!! Not only is she a sight for sore eyes(she is beautiful and sexy!!!)her voice is powerful(not at all NASAL as others here have said) When power and strength in a voice is mistaken for nasal tones, that critic doesn't know about oratory capabilities. Not only can she belt out a song, but she can act too. I can't say enough about her. She must do more musicals and performances. (An update) She will be doing an off Broadway musical called "Heat Lightning" (...) Thanks Christy for the update on Coleen. George Merritt and Barrie Ingham are simply wonderful as well, and play their respective parts with such panache. The entire cast is marvelous and they hold my attention to the end. Just sit back and enjoy the mesmerizing songs such as,"This is the Moment", "The Fascade", "In His Eyes", "Good and Evil", "Murder, Murder","Once Upon a Dream" and others.
I am appalled at all the negative comments made here. The hardest thing anyone can do in life is to get up and speak in front of an audience, right? Well, it must be even harder to get up on stage, sing, as well as act in front of hundreds of people ready to criticize your every movement, slip up, or crack of your voice. To all those critics, I say is, I would like to see you get up there and do a better job. May the first one who can, throw the first piece of fruit up on the stage. Shame on you all!! I think I may wear out this DVD before I ever get tired of it. It is constantly playing where my family is starting to think I am a little obsessed. Maybe I am. A good thing is hard to get enough of.
You know I wrote a more critical review after watching it the very first time, but after seeing it over and over again, my critical review became a rave review. I think at first I just was not convinced David was a Broadway performer, but after careful review, I did a quick 360 and I was hooked.
I hope this overrides my first review. I really want people out there to know that this rendition of the greatest of Musicals is one of the best. Robert Cuccioli and Anthony Warlow were still great as Jekyll and Hyde,especially Anthony, but if you can't get enough of J&H, go out and buy this one. You will not be disappointed at all. Thank Goodness they filmed this, so Broadway enthusiasts and Jekkies can enjoy great show anytime they choose. Jekkies, now you can have your fill of our favorite Broadway musicals. BRAVO!!! BRAVO!!!
Summary of Jekyll & Hyde - The Musical
Watch David Hasselhoff as he lights up the stage of New York's Plymouth Theatre. Here he brilliantly portrays the genius Dr. Jekyll and his alter-ego, Mr. Hyde with a superb score by Leslie Briscusse and Frank Wildhorn.Similar DVD Movies
