The one thing you can say about Frank Wildhorn is that he doesn't give up. Like The Scarlet Pimpernel, Jekyll & Hyde , based on R. L. Stevenson's classic depiction of a split personality run amok, went through several rewrites and casts--each show is a work-in-neverending-progress for Wildhorn. This recording immortalizes the show's classic Broadway cast: Robert Cuccioli as Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Linda Eder as Lucy, and Christiane Noll as Emma. Appropriately for the show, Wildhorn's score is both tempestuously romantic and unabashedly ominous. While Cuccioli handles both parts with elan, Wildhorn saved his best songs for Lucy and Emma, confirming that he really is the contemporary master of the power ballad. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Customer Reviews

Wonderful songs
To those who want to listen to a VERY captivating interpretation of "Someone Like You," get a copy of Miss Saigon star Lea Salonga's "The Broadway Concert" album. I've never heard anyone sing that song as beautifully as she does!

Re: Wonderful songs
Also don't forget Martin Nievera's performance of Take Me As I Am with Asian singing sensation Regine Velasquez. They sang this as part of their Broadway Medley in their World Concert Tour (I saw the Los Angeles leg). The combination of their emotive and powerful voices was fantastic. I think their concert in now available on DVD.

WORTH THE PRICE- BUT NOT THE BEST J&H RECORDING
I saw the show twice on it's pre-Broadway tour. I was blown away. Robert Cuccioli performed Jekyll & Hyde superbly. It's a very physically demanding role and he accomplished it wonderfully. Linda Eder was fantastic. What a voice! I have this CD and I have the "Highlights", but the 2-CD set of The Complete Works of Jekyll & Hyde is far superior, plus there are many great additional and better performed songs. If you listen to all three different versions, you'll see what I mean. Anthony Warlow is Jekyll/Hyde. The current tour is as close to the 2-CD set at you can get. The Broadway cast version is great if you've seen the show on Broadway. It takes you back to the stage by visualizing it in the music. But it is very different than the current tour. Please buy the 2-CD set and compare. You won't be sorry.
