Jekyll & Hyde - The Musical

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

For the rest of you...behold, the worst piece of cr*p to ever be consigned to celluloid is just waiting for you to marvel at.

I'm really not kidding this is so bad, so interminably, insufferably dreadful that it's one of the funniest (and most painful) things I've ever sat through.

Within minutes me, my missus and two friends were literally bent double, howling with laughter. I don't think I've ever cried so much in my life - I get chest pains just thinking about it.

Whether it's the first time Dave turns into Hyde (check the acting, please, please check the acting!) or his encore high-kick or the fact that the whole thing was bank-rolled by real-life murdering supervillan, Nicholas Van Hoogstraaten - there's something in this that will make you scream with derision at the screen.

Not for the faint of heart, or the weak of bladder.

Alright, I'll admit, Hasselhoff is by far not the best person to play the title role(s), but for someone who's whole career was made by Baywatch, he is believable enough in his role(s). Certainly, his few flaws should not be nearly enough to discourage anyone from taking show a musical so full of thrill, passion, and truly amazing music. All the rest of the cast is stellar, and lives up to the standards that can be generalized as "Broadway quality". Look, this is a great show, it's closed on Broadway (so you won't see this staging ever again), and you can take it home to watch as many times as you want, for at least half the price of a Broadway ticket.



I was shocked how good David Hasselhoff was!   June 23, 2004

Last night I was channel surfing when I came upon HBO showing Jekyll and Hyde: The Musical. I was shocked to find David Hasselhoff at the helm of this broadway musical. I had heard he did well as a singer in Europe. I could not believe how fantastic he was in this musical. His voice is awesome. I have not seen a part played so well since Michael Crawford in "Phantom of the Opera". This particular character definitely had to be a strong person with a strong voice - let me tell you Michael Hasselhoff does the job! I was so impressed I got on Amazon today just to buy it. I have to see it again! You will not be disappointed.

I had to give this version a chance. David Hasselhoff has an incredible singing voice and to give the performance he does in Jekyll and Hyde - The Musical is very impressive. But I admit I was a bit frustrated when I saw him practically pass out during his major schizo song. When that bed came in and he was still walking offstage, you could tell that song took quite a bit out of him.

Colleen Sexton as Lucy Harris. Wow wow wow wow wow! She brought quite a bit to the table, and she was in incredible company with the distinguished performers she shared the stage with including Andrea Rivette as Emma Carew. Sexton's and Rivette's performance of In His Eyes was outstanding. Not better than the original performances that predecessed Hasselhoff, but definitely is a ranking force in it's own. I would rank this second next to the Dream Cast concert of Les Miserables starring Colm Wilkinson as Jean Valjean.

This is the moment. Buy Jekyll and Hyde and give it a chance. You wont be disappointed.
