Wonderful songs,
March 5, 2004 By A Customer
This review is from: Jekyll & Hyde - The Musical (1997 Original Broadway Cast) (Audio CD)
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!

WORTH THE PRICE- BUT NOT THE BEST J&H RECORDING,
June 21, 2000 Silver I. Veloz (Valencia, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Jekyll & Hyde - The Musical (1997 Original Broadway Cast) (Audio CD)
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.

Jekyll & Hyde: The Musical (1997 Original Broadway Cast),
August 20, 2003 Craig N. Hartman (Salt Lake City, UT United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Jekyll & Hyde - The Musical (1997 Original Broadway Cast) (Audio CD)
Frank Wildhorn has created a phenomenal musical adventure with Jekyll & Hyde. Unfortunately, this album sounds like both the actors and musicians are just going through the motions. Even the great Linda Eder is just not at the top of her game on this recording. On the other hand, if you want to FEEL the passion and thrill of Jekyll & Hyde, get the 2-CD set of Jekyll & Hyde, The Gothic Musical Thriller (The Complete Works) (1994). You will hear one of, if not THE best recording ever of a Broadway Musical. It is truly extraordinary.
