Format:Audio CD
With a cast not so famous in the UK, "Jekyll and Hyde" may seem a musical to miss. However, with such an amazing score you cannot help but weep at the way in which the songs are put across to the audience. The chemistry among the main singers is evident with Christiane Noll and Robert Cuccioli portraying the couple in love superbly. Linda Eder plays the lost and disillusioned young soul with immense passion, performing some fantastically difficult songs with effortless ease.
It appears a challenge to put this story into song as well as on stage but all aspects of the novel are emphasized by the huge musical numbers: such as "Facade", "A New life", "Alive" and "This is the moment". Leslie Bricusse and Frank Wildhorn are to be congradulated on the breathtaking musical which will capture the heart of anyone who listens to it.

Jekyll and Hyde is a great musical, and is currently on tour in the UK starring Paul Nicholas and Shona Lindsey. However, this CD is not of the same version of the musical, many songs are missing and others are substituted with others. If you want a soundtrack resembling the UK tour, then search Amazon for "Jekyll and Hyde:Gothic Musical" to get the concept album on which the UK version is based.

It is rare to find such a complete Musical soundtrack in which each song stands on its own. The Broadway cast is outstanding and their Jekyll reigns over Paul Nicholas the current U.K Jekyll. Any person interested in new and original work will love this Fantastic recording of a new and outstanding musical. With Brilliant performances from the leading man and ladies and a strong Chorus that oozes experiance. I would recommend this to anyone who just enjoys the theatre as a hobby or as a career.I also ask anyone who gets the opportunity to go and see this fantastic musical that has recently come to the U.K, despite Paul Nicholas' relatively weak performance the rest of the cast and the fantastic and original score are a must see.
