This is a school production?! They're incredible.

[@commonwealpanther]

It's nationally award winning, so they do it right. And this lead is actually back after he graduated. At the time of recording he was studying performing arts in NYC.

[@B_men_apo]

This is more like Broadway quality musical sheesh

[@GhoulishCinnamon]

Everyone talking abt Hyde’s performance but COMPLETELY IGNORE LUCY’S AMAZING VOCALS!!!

[@christopherjimenez4578]

A bit to popish for my taste but she really nailed it

[@frostylunetta]

Well Edward Hyde is too cool ❤️

[@MistressHyde]

Ikr like the song Lucy is singing sounds so lovely but I can't find it in the original album:((

I literally just screamed "YES" when I saw the notification

[@luckylindy1193]

Crap, did he make that guttural sound when he "bites" her?!?! Scared the living daylights out of me! All the little subtle things he does when he's singing and talking as Hyde add an extra level of awesome!!

[@suzannerider9460]

Lucky Lindy I think that he is meant to be a wolf.

[@suzannerider9460]

My mistake - he is meant to be a lion or some kind of big cat.

[@frostylunetta]

😨 Oh biting Lucy!?

[@immanuelwarshawsky2684]

yeah its terrifying

[@ArcherGhost]

I can actually explain this: The sound effect and the "biting" is an effect/technique used in both the book and musical called "dehumanisation." The heavy use of animal metaphors (the biting, the "ape like fury" quote, references to predator and prey, ect) make Hyde seem less human and more animal like which not only links to Darwin's theory on evolution (which was controversial when the original book was published) but also makes Hyde seem more feral, wild, creepy and terrifying.

[@joel.orleans]

I just love when the crowd is walking back and forth and he gets bumped into. He doesn’t even react. Hyde is in the zone and doesn’t give a damn and he shows it. Great shit there

[@savannahgrace111]

We need a Jekyll and Hyde revival with him as Dr. Jekyll!

[@frostylunetta]

And Edward Hyde ❤️

[@masonblanco7783]

This is a revival with him as Dr. Jekyll. He did the same thing back in 2016. And he was incredible back then too.

[@savannahgrace111]

@@masonblanco7783 I know, I was talking about on Broadway. You're right, he was amazing back then, too. Some people are just too talented!

[@mysticken7776]

Right??!!! If they really didn't cast him for the role on their next showing of this musical nor did they take notes from this flawless performance, I swear it will be another Hasselhoff disaster

[@lizaschwab]

Is hé only 22-23 Jesus! Doesn’t look it

[@ambrosialopez1195]

Mystic Ken I don’t think Jekyll and Hyde will ever go on Broadway again :( The Broadway version removed a few good songs (like Bring On the Men), and Hasselhoff pretty much ruined the show and its reputation. They had a 25th anniversary concert (not production) in Australia last year starring Anthony Warlow, but nothing else really happened :(

[@frostylunetta]

@@mysticken7776 maybe a national tour in the US will be wonderful 😍

[@sbg123]

@@ambrosialopez1195 they should bring this back to Broadway, just to have this guy to play the role.

[@thespianatheart]

Oh my goodness. His voice and acting are unreal!!!

[@lizaschwab]

I can’t wait for him to do is when his voice gets a little bit older. The character needs a little bit older voice! But it’s amazing

[@fabioviti7384]

The two version are very different; here hyde is a gentle assassin; in the other is a complete beast (affascinating but a beast, who is more like the book)

[@mysticken7776]

I swear after I commented on the last video, I didn't get any notification and after going back to YT's homepage, this is the very first video that pops up Update: This is another proof why Alive is, by far, my most favorite track in the whole musical

[@mangoschaos6950]

I’m sorry?? But the ACCENT HE’S DOING?? IS AMAZING?? If you’ve watched the rest of it it’s clear that he’s doing an East London accent just for this scene and- AHHHHHHH it’s more clear in the first half of it but-

[@caitlintan49]

OKAY I DIDN'T EXPECT THIS TO COME OUT SO FAST YES! (Also, the part where he swishes his cape around in front of the red light oddly reminded me of Elphaba during "No Good Deed"...? HAHAHA)

[@laurenfletcher1748]

Whoever these kids are they are amazing. Lucy’s voice is so clear and lovely and Jekyll/Hyde’s voice is such a beautiful tenor to hit the high notes as he does at that age is incredible. Her high notes made tears come to my eyes.

[@harrisstrong9518]

Love watching this interpretation of a classic novel. It brings it to life with such passion. Love how he can switch beween the 2 so clearly. Thank you so much for shareing.

[@lspringer2563]

Ok, i never comment on anything but ive just been watching all the videos so far and it is honestly amazing. Everyone is so good!!

[@JasGould-sh3fh]

This is just incredible. And the fact that they are high school age is just phenomenal.

[@pikachu_boi7762]

Ive waited for this!! Be back when I'm done Edit: Wow. Expectations reached. Frickin love the cape and cane. His voice is so good for this role! Back to the cape, him standing in front of the red light with that is so good. Especially while Singing!! This is my favorite song from this musical and I was not disappointed.

[@KimOfTheNorth]

Oh lord! Thank you so much for uploading these for us to see! !

It would be fun to wave the cane around😁

[@suzannerider9460]

AGirl it is not a cane. It is a sword stick.

[@oneanimatortorulethemall4714]

I say this with complete seriousness: This is better than the Broadway version.

[@singerAR0406]

This is the tour version. Many great changes were made!! =) I was proud to be a part of it!!

[@bobbywise2313]

It would depend on which Broadway version. Robert Cuccioli was the best but I admit I never saw Chuck Wagner in its original showing in Houston. I heard he was amazing. But I have seen some on Broadway that were not as good as this. The difficult thing about Broadway is the stars typically do 6 to 8 shows every week. To maintain that level of emotion and energy show after show is very difficult. I suppose that is why they typically move on after a year or so.

[@shanarich9266]

LOVE IT. This is a difficult musical to pull off. Bravo!!

[@taylorkrekoski1061]

my understanding is that the part starting at 2:54 is extremely vocally challenging after performing the rest of the song, so it makes sense that he would be a tiny bit sharp/flat at this part. I love this song, and what awesome performances by everyone!

[@angelofmusic2002]

Gregorio has got so much better over the years, bloody hell mate!! I watched the 2016 one on KZbin, and this was recommended and there is a clear difference, love both versions though

Emily_M. Well I saw a comment that the show had two actors who play Jekyll... Maybe I misunderstood something else. Thanks for reply

[@Emily_M.]

@@user-ge9je3dc4j Yeah two actors did indeed play the role, but TKA only uploads one version. Perhaps they'll upload the other actor's version of some of the songs after they've posted the entire musical, but I can't say for sure.

YJ L there were two actors who were in the musical. They shared the role between them. The other actor is Albert Elias. I think there are some clips of him in the role on KZbin somewhere.
