YES He's grown so much since the last time he's played this role!

[@Emily_M.]

"Hyde Park is dangerous at night" Oh my dear, you have no idea...

[@Buzzybee33]

Honey you’ve got a big storm coming…

[@giraffejuiceb2545]

The HYDE park is dangerous at night!!!! THE HYDE PARK IS DANGEROUS AT NIGHT!!!!! I am using this now!!!

[@Ines-cf6tb]

I am thrilled to see him reprise this role, I couldn't stop smiling. He's the best Jekyll I have ever seen and I'm sure that he has a brilliant future ahead. This was truly his moment. Bravo!

[@frostylunetta]

😇 I want to see him on Broadway and The West End too

[@kiraward6383]

his confidence and stage presence in this is INCREDIBLE

[@robbiereed8339]

Oh my gosh, sign him to a Broadway contract now. I know I'll see him on stage one day and I'm going to share this performance with everyone I know. Wow!!

[@rlojhan]

So good, he improved so much since his last performance. Oh how I wish I have his golden voice too.

[@jamesgrey8481]

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde could catch this number-

[@VintageBohemian21]

My expression the whole time 😮😍

[@suzannerider9460]

Reminds me of Ramin Karimloo in the voice department. Has a bit of Robert Cuccioli (who played Jekyll and Hyde) about him as well.

[@marialeonor9171]

Gregorio's voice...OMG 😱😱😱 👏👏👏👏

[@WillowLackett]

Watching Gregorio in 2016 and again now reprising his role, it's just so amazing to see how much he's truly grown and improved! And I can say, without a single doubt, he's possibly the best actor to ever portray Jekyll/Hyde in any production of this musical.

[@dylanlazarus2017]

No tiny edgerton for me is number one

[@dylanlazarus2017]

Tony

[@djhh-hardcoreheaven]

Oh wow. A star is born!! On the station platform on the way to see an amateur production of J&H and almost in tears. Deffo a sound of Ramin and JOJ.

[@marissaburdock6550]

I want t see him on Broadway soon! where else can talent like that go?

[@aridelacruz7183]

I can’t wait for transformation 👏🏼

[@ThirdyMeowy]

Him and Anthony are my favorite Jekyll/Hyde(s)! :)

[@donaldwarren463]

this man has a Stunning Voice ~

[@emilymartin9299]

Wow, what a voice! I got chills listening to him.

[@Richieboy78]

His stage presence, vocals and acting have all matured in the best way. He has a great future ahead

[@justinswindler9916]

I agree.

[@johnbrandonclark]

This leaves me speechless; not an easy song and he absolutely nailed it. His range and pitch are just amazing, excellent work singing this one of the best renditions I have heard! Kudos

[@johnbrandonclark]

Just had to add this after watching the first time they performed this scene; in both cases the song was performed beautifully. This scene shows such growth as actors; while they both did great work both times this version shows a great level of professionalism. Where a few years back it was well acted this shows such growth in understanding the material. The actors emphasized and showed emotion in places here that was not present in the older version. Great work in learning and understanding the meaning behind the words and growth as thespians. Stage work like this is in line with the level of talent I would expect in a Broadway production.

[@peteraschaffenburg1]

"not an easy song" is the unstatement of the year! I´ve performed this song as a professional numerous times and can admit without envy that his performance highly impressed me. I´ve listened to it a couple of times and only in the end did I realize I was watching with my mouth open, flabbergasted and a tear rolling down my cheek. It´s edgy, some things I would have done differently, but I´m sure he has bright future ahead of him!

[@katiegoss1684]

He has an amazing voice! I love the desk he has very cool effects!

[@kabiraltaf]

I love this song (I sang it at my high school graduation) and I love Gregorio's voice. Not to mention he's gorgeous:)

[@JasGould-sh3fh]

He is truly beautiful with a voice to match

[@jessicajensenhistory]

I knew I was going to like this before he started singing, but when he did, oh my gosh! That was absolutely incredible!

[@annalog002]

As an Australian, I will always love Anthony Warlow's rendition of this song. I have to say though, I am absolutely spellbound by Gregorio Umaña's performance here. Bravo! As others have said, please send this talented man to Broadway. 💯

[@frostylunetta]

Robert Louis Stevenson should be proud of you, Gregorio ❤️

[@revaslatts8011]

Vocals? Groundbreaking. Orchestrals? Harmonious. To put it simply, it's awesome. BRAVA, BRAVISIMA!!!!!

[@catherineadler65]

David Hasselhoff has got NOTHING on this young man! 😉. Well done! One of my favorites & he did not disappoint...great job...wish u well in ur future 🤩

[@singerAR0406]

Lol!

[@pennyj5595]

How?? How is he so good??

[@StoryVision889]

Hallelujah. It is a great voice.

[@raquelf.1962]

His voice is even better now. So wonderful. Very talented. Hope to see him on Broadway soon!

[@joannpitre326]

He is the best I've seen!!!❤❤❤❤

[@ThePolaroid669]

love the spin at "when I look back"! Very awesome.

[@ashleyhaas8344]

Gregorio is amazing

[@106460]

that blond boy is beautiful!

[@vickihusfeld8636]

I'd sing with him any time.

[@MarkLomod]

daaammnnn boy... throw the kitchen sink at us, as well, why dontcha LOL plus he's easy on the eyes too :P

[@Kawaiikitten0211]

Wait so was he in grade 9 when he first did this show? How old is he, he’s gotta be older than grade 12??? So amazing!!

[@suzannerider9460]

I think he's 22 now.

[@JasGould-sh3fh]

This is one of the greatest performances of this musical. This is just incredible. ❤❤❤❤

[@thespianatheart]

Oh my goshhhh! Chills!!

[@Ladycraft-lk5tk]

Wow, just wow.

[@animalnanny8437]

oh myyyy the ending was PERFECTION 🥲🥲

[@buttguffs]

This was AMAZING. xx

[@gloryksh]

beautiful ! incredible ! incredible !!!

[@elizabethhager560]

Dang, I wish I could do this show, I want to be Lucy, my school however is a womens college, we will never do a show with a male lead.

[@elizabethhager560]

I would also love to do the show opposite him, thats even less likely though

[@barbarapatocka4232]

Well done❤❤❤❤

[@francaeletto6823]

Bravo ...auguri!

[@tonybarbera6056]

This kid has talent!

[@jonathangoeldner3560]

when he took that final breath before the last note, I took one as well - talk about knocking it out of the ballpark - who's IS this actor?

[@robertbanderson3589]

Does anyone know if he has done any musical theater since leaving Kings Academy besides this reprise role? Where are other recent videos of this unbelievable voice??

[@yoonakim7779]

his voice is majestic wow

[@suzannerider9460]

I have to pinch myself to realise that I am watching a man aged 21 in this scene. He puts most performances of this song to shame.

[@TheGapboynokc]

uhhh......WOW

[@happinesstappy]

Great! I wonder if he's graduated and come back as alumni?

[@suzannerider9460]

He did graduate (In 2016). He came back as an alumni for this role as part of the 50th anniversary of The King's Academy.

[@chloepedraza280]

How can a character be so hopeful and inspiring and be so very wrong?😭

[@katiez.7622]

May I ask where Mr. Umana works now? I'd give anything to sing with him! Does he do anything from Wicked?

[@suzannerider9460]

Katie Z. He did do Wicked and he was Fiyero. It was done in the 2015--16 season- the same season as the first version of Jekyll and Hyde.

[@suzannerider9460]

To add to my last comment, there are clips of performances that TKA (The Kin'g,s Academy) on KZbin. I don't know if "Wicked has been uploaded yet.

[@suzannerider9460]

I think that he was 18 when he did this performance. This was held to commentate the 50th Anniversary of TKA.

[@katiez.7622]

Suzanne Rider Yes, I’ve seen a bunch of their productions, they are an amazing school! But they haven’t put up Wicked yet. I’m sure we’ll be seeing Gregorio on Broadway soon!

[@monkeysactress]

I hope you are on Broadways now or have been and will be back when Broadways returns...

[@ThePolaroid669]

broadway quality voice!

[@BrianRIngram]

Does anyone know if their orchestra is all students, all professionals, or some of each?

[@samanthaeveforrest5034]

Tuning..????

[@frostylunetta]

Much better than Cuccioli and Hasselhoff

[@animartinezgarcia6797]

gender envy omg
