Finale Jekyll and Hyde

The Finale from Jekyll and Hyde the Musical starring David Hasselhoff

[@user-km6wy9xj9s]

Jekyll: I didn't hit her! Hyde: Oh hi Mark

[@jessicazeller8060]

"Any man can show any just cause why they may not be lawfully joined together, let him now speak, or forever hold his peace." Hyde: "Hold my beer." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@madam-mint]

Jessica Zeller Basically how it went down.

[@RosesNightengales]

Jekyll: *Becomes Hyde* Ah, C'mon man... Hyde: SURPRISE!!! :D Jekyll: Why.... Couldn't you have come tomorrow...-_-

[@PaisleyPlace]

It's a sad ending but I can't help but smile @ times. A dear friend went to see J&H on Broadway as she lives in NY. They had front row seats near where J/H falls dead. Her guide dog got up & went to him no matter how hard she pulled her back. The audience thought it adorable as did the actor (I forget who) that played J/H. She passed away some yrs ago after losing a battle w/cancer. We were close b4 @ after I got my guide from the same school. It's been my hope to visit & attend J/H on BW 4 her.

[@bananatiergod]

Ten years late so apologies in advance but A. His name is David Hasselhoff and B. That is the cutest and saddest story I've heard today. I can imagine that she was the best doggo mom. May she rest in peace. 💔

I’m always 11th row orchestra, center and the pyrotechnics were a STRUGGLE for this “little show that could”; but man 😮 those first 3 previews I saw were worthy of complaint, if I’d have had to pay, I’d definitely have complained 😅 But this is by far the worst cast to have done a DVD release with. I saw every male actor to take on the titular role, but IMO, the original cast is unmatched… I have a few full length bootlegs of this show on my channel from previews, as well as the full final leg of the pre broadway tour (footage from 1990 - 95). Finally, I uploaded the test recording for the team in charge of filming this for distribution. The matinees were always performed by a swing when a “celebrity” was in the role, So this here ⬆️ was filmed during the night performance, while the test recording was recorded during the matinee, and so ROB EVANS is in the titular role, and in HD (like the DVD, obviously lol 😝), and so we get a good look at what COULD have been. The rest of the test recording cast remains the same for both the matinee & nightshiws. Lastly, I have the official B-roll footage plus a collection of tv performances (and commercials), come check it out!❤

[@madam-mint]

Okay, okay, OKAY! I know he was one of the worst Jekyll/Hydes ever according to most people but...there IS one part of his performance that tears me up. That scared little "E-Emma??" at 4:14. Sounds like a terrified, helpless little child. As he's dying. Gah.

[@butterflystar7064]

@Paulette Cinotti i can agree, although this jekyll isn't too bad in my opinon

[@mediakira6621]

His delivery of “Oh god will me somehow to fight I pray” was delivered well, yelling with desperation, pain and practically begging for things to go right for once .

[@convenientcomedy9363]

The way he says ow between each word kills me

[@madam-mint]

[@convenientcomedy9363]

Indeed.

[@slimshaney2899]

I hate his "Set me free, set us all free" If it was me, I'd be almost crying doing it as I feel that Jekyll is so desperate to end it all

[@krystalharwood1807]

bates motel where Dylan kills norman is almost similar

[@mynameistyler2010]

He plays a better Hyde than a Jekyll. I feel so bad for this cast. They're all so wonderful...and then hoff comes in.

[@TeresaDeLallo]

Anthony warlow did better just in the recording studio.

[@ilive2sing22]

"ow, feel it fill me. ow." Thanks, David. That was a very good lesson in how NOT to act.

that end music gives me chills every time! Its truly a beautiful tragedy.

[@gameshowfanatic9311]

Yes I figured out those notes by figuring them out in my head. I don’t have perfect pitch but I have a good sense of pitch. But yes it does give me chills and has of course a very melancholy mood to it

[@PlumeLoom]

Rob Evans had the best performance but Anthony warlow did... Wow! You all should listen to his concept album of this play it's amazing if you haven't

[@ProfessorStuDDS]

Probably the Hoff's best performance in the show. I'm not the biggest fan of his altogether performance, but this he does REALLY well!

[@EYDstudios]

I love this transformation, it's very well done. I like how Emma is able to find the Jekyll and Hyde. Pause at 3:06 for hilarity

[@valeriasernabedoya8970]

from 4:12 on, I had to stop the video like five times before finish it because I didn't want to cry but every time I tried to watch it again I had tears in my eyes over again, this is so saaad :'( Bravo, excellent play .

[@ejsbxbeiaskd1770]

if you think this is good, you should really watch anthony warlow's. it's amazing.

[@Taracostello6]

From experience, it's really hard not to breath when you are "dead". I had to do it in a show and I just had a stage fight and your adrenaline is still going. Granted, i was wearing a corset so breathing was hard anyway

[@chelsealoganWilson]

Emma's SO pretty!!!! Goodness, this was epic. Never thought I'd say that about Hoff. What has the world come too?!?!?

[@StrongRex]

At 2:29 Sir Danvers should NOT have called him Dr. Jekyll. It's very inconsistent with the rest of the play and how everyone else reacts to Hyde. He or someone else should have said something along the lines of "Good God, what is that thing?" Hyde is supposed to look completely different from Jekyll, thus no one knows they are one and the same. We as the audience suspend disbelief and give this show the benefit of the doubt, provided the actor can play 2 completely different characters effectively and look as different as he can. But in no universe would anyone SCOLD Dr. Jekyll as if he were simply misbehaving AFTER he turns into a different creature AND kills a man. I love this show but it does have its weaknesses and inconsistencies.

[@jessicazeller8060]

StrongRex I partially agree. I feel calling him Dr. Jekyll is inconsistent because Danvers and Emma both referred to him as Henry, but I guess with Emma exclaiming "Henry!" over and over in this scene, it would have been overkill. There are also a few instances where Utterson refers to him as Dr. Jekyll, which bothers me because it's inconsistent with his relationship to him. But in this scene, Danvers is still unaware that Jekyll is Hyde. He has never seen Jekyll transform, therefore he has no reason to believe that Hyde is a "thing." Danvers just believes Jekyll is being crazy, because that's who sees, Dr. Jekyll.

[@saquescuya]

He could look different but they are in the same body so i think its fine.

[@seventesprit3000]

@@saquescuya Yeah, this is just a body of Jekyll, whatever it is, it was Jekyll thus you shall think it's still Jekyll, because what else xD

[@arcticcrocs1397]

I think he was amazeing

[@EmmaGreen-kw7cc]

Oh dear poor dude....... R.I.P u will be missed. 😭😭😭😭

[@AidenAimeeLeach]

Our school did this is the city theatre and it’s my favourite one we’ve done, playing Jekyll and Hyde was the best thing I ever did. During confrontation I had to run backwards down the stage steps and along a path and when I was Hyde I would face the front row members in the eyes whilst yelling my lines. The lights changed colour depending on who I was (light green and white for Jekyll, red for Hyde) and if you here the song you can see just how quick the lights had to be in some parts Best thing I’ve ever done

[@AndreMagalhaesMusic]

I saw Jekyll and Hyde performed by the Governor's School for the arts and I must say it was the best version of the musical I've seen. The singing was PHENOMENAL whoever played Jekyll/Hyde was amazingly talented and could be compared to David Hasslehoff's Jekyll.

[@MrSchaeferc]

i feel as though if Heath Ledger could sing, he would've been fucking incredible as hyde! agree?

[@Cinedragon]

Love the opening song!

[@seventesprit3000]

I don't understand that much ado about his "ow"s. He feels short attacks of pain, what else should he do? That's what people say, when they are hurt. Yeah, he might have just yell in agony, but i think it's not that kind of pain.

[@Victor75]

a good performance... this final scene always nearly makes me cry...

[@Derpyfazbear]

that's' depressing alright

[@taelenfl27_]

Nope

[@PsychedelicCharm]

The Hoff is terrible at playing dead!

[@FCXmaster]

I know, you can tell he's breathing.

[@derrbow]

Was the entire play leading up to this point mostly about Dr. Jekyll walking through a town whilst townspeople and animals constantly try to kill him? Asking for a friend

[@MasqueLeNuit]

I think I just choked on my drink at 3:06. Oh good lord. I didn't know what to expect until I paused it.

[@DEMinYT]

I really feel that he is a great visual and he had some good moments in his performance as Jekyll, but there was really something lacking as Hyde. At this point, Hyde should have been like a wild animal, out of control and unstoppable to some extent and I didn't feel that. Unfortunately, I didn't feel the desperation that should be there as Jekyll pleads for this not to happen during the wedding as well.

[@jessicazeller8060]

Dale Martin I think it's mostly because of the wedding scene as a whole. In the pre-Broadway productions, there was an extended wedding reception scene, where Hyde shows up after Jekyll and Emma are already married. Hyde is wild and rampantly kills everyone in sight. The stakes are much higher, particularly when Emma is taken hostage. You can see this version of the finale in the 1995 National Tour (starring the OBC) and in the 2013 revival. The 2013 revival is not nearly as good, though.

[@Taracostello6]

@randomprincess919 Not really, just taking shallow breaths and not moving helps

[@martinadaae]

I actually really loved his jekyll and hyde,he looks like a gentleman!!i prefer the songs of the og album,but I watched the DVD like 10 times

[@DarthxErik]

his acting in the final parts of this scene SORT OF makes up for his bad singing throughout....

[@phantompersian]

Hasselhoff....I love this musical, but he makes me crack up with the exception of the transformation part.

Did they replace the gun? Why?

[@nutellayummers]

This was 12 years ago but, I had to pause multiple times because I personally super disliked the acting. Like he barely sang either. I honestly prefer Warlow as Jekyll and Hyde, Hoff is. Hoff.

when did he pull out the ponytail?

[@Paulionirichardsoni]

When emma comes in i kinda wanna sing.. "HOW DYA SOLVE A PROBLEM LIKE MARIAAA?"

[@PaisleyPlace]

@committeesq German? He's popular in Spain, Japan, Holland, Germany, Britain, etc... the list goes on. But with regards to his albums, they sell like crazy all over Europe as well as Germany & Holland; plus, he speaks Dutch & German so he can actually sing the songs in the countries' native language. I've been trying to find a song he did called San Pedro's Children but I can't find it anywhere. It's beautiful but I lost it in a hard drive crash & crash of my backup drive. :( It's beautiful.

david is exelent not ridiculous hes expetional in this whole musical david you won my heart with this movie and now you shall forever have it.......

[@bebby2139]

i thought he killed himself in confrontation... 😑

[@elizaboof6566]

it depends on the production but if you go off the plot of the original book, 'confrontation' in the musical is the moment dr jekyll realises he will forever be stuck as hyde, and then this scene would take place after the last line of the book which is "I bring the life of that unhappy Henry Jekyll to an end" (basically knowing he will forever be stuck as hyde, jekyll concludes hyde will either be hanged for his crimes or kill himself) 😊

[@lewisrussell666]

I dont know about you guys but whenever I see a black person in a theater production that is set in the early 1900s or even earlier (Les Mis) it takes me out of the immersion because black people simply wouldnt have had prominent roles in society back then. Obviously I'm not a racist, but you wouldn't find this sort of casting in a film so why the theater? Please feel free to reply I would like to know what others' opinions are on the matter.

[@PlumeLoom]

~REMOVED COMMENT BY ME~

[@SincerelyElleAri]

Well it depends on what part of the world you are talking about as well. Racial oppression in England was very different than racial oppression in the US and how that translates into social station varied. A good movie to look at is Belle, where you can see the complexity of being high class in England while not being considered equal socially. I don't know a lot about England, but In Les Mis, for example, the role Javert has been played by a black man and that makes complete sense because black men were allowed into the French army and they were allowed to become officers. So its not historically inaccurate at all.

[@megasauruss]

oh you won't like Hamilton then
