Movie Reviews of Jekyll & Hyde - The Musical
Movie Review: May be better to wait but...
Summary: 4 Stars
I was fortunate enough to see the Original Broadway Cast on Broadway with the exception of Robert Cuccioli. I saw his understudy but have a really hard time believing Cuccioli was better than his understudy. It was an absolutely amazing performance. The reason I saw his understudy was that his understudy did all matinee performances because the role of Jekyll/Hyde was so demanding on the voice. The role requires a big voice and I don't think Hasselhoff had it. I don't think he destroyed the role. I just saw better. This is the only reason I give this a four out of five, instead of five out of five. They are planning to make a feature movie from Frank Wilhelm's Jekyll & Hyde so it might be worthwhile waiting. Unfortunately, there is no timeline on when this project might be finished. They still haven't held auditions.
Summary of Jekyll & Hyde - The Musical
The longest-running show in the history of Broadway's Plymouth Theatre, Jekyll & Hyde: The Musical brings new life to Robert Louis Stevenson's classic story of romance and the epic battle between good and evil. A whirlwind odyssey pitting man against himself is set in motion when the brilliant Dr. Jekyll's medical experiment backfires, giving life to his evil alter ego, Edward Hyde. The show won a legion of repeat visitors (dubbed by the press as "Jekkies") and spawned hit songs on the pop charts with "Someone Like You" and "This Is the Moment."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
