Jekyll & Hyde Live- This Is the Moment- (Act I- Scene 6a)

[@beggers5]

This is a high school production? Are you kidding me? My mouth was almost on the floor.

[@christinearwood781]

Paul Thompson Me too. I watched Transformation first and actually thought it was a Broadway production because I didn’t read the description. When I did I couldn’t believe it.

[@黄子曦]

[@katherinenavarrete6586]

@@christinearwood781 Same here...after seeing the first few minutes of the Broadway version, I decided to look for other versions and also found that gem

[@lornamonahan5009]

Better than hasselhoff

[@showtunestarpower]

This looks like a top flight production. I'm sure the young actor playing Dr. Jekyll is having no problems getting his first professional jobs!

[@coralroper6876]

"Be careful. Hyde Park is dangerous at night." "So are you." The air is choked with dramatic irony.

Unintentionally FORESHADOWING

[@jordandavies6601]

He really smashed that! The way he captured the audience and the way he led the band was brilliant. He sings really well but not just sing the way he's acting is incredible with so much passion and love for theatre. He's going to be big one day!

[@ThePolaroid669]

I think you'll find that's an orchestra, not a 'band'.

[@jordandavies6601]

John Grieve my mistake 👍

[@rchong941]

I can’t believe this is high school student production until I read the comments

[@naomihata143]

R Chong it IS?!?! Woooow!

[@SusanBurchettComedy]

Here's what I appreciate SO MUCH about this performance- He was so well coach vocally- he (and his coach) understood HIS voice, and didn't try to make it something it wasn't. He's a tenor, and while the song and orchestration remain the same- they shaped it to fit HIS voice and his youth. And it worked SO WELL. I've seen J&H probably 4-5x and everyone seems to be doing some version of Anthony Warlow's original recording (although Warlow never toured in it.) The best tour was first that began in Houston. Every other time I've heard it done live- they're over singing with this vibrato you could drive a truck through. It's distracting- especially the 20 second build at the end. Yikes. But this kid is tremendous! Good for him.

[@inesdeerausquin5658]

Good heavens..... what do they feed them at The King's Academy?! This kid has it all.... talent and skill and charisma and whatever the "x-factor" is that makes a star. What a powerful performance! Bravo Bravo a million times!

[@HeathCliffrothman]

Wow Wow Wow Wow Wow. I watched the David Hasselhoff Broadway version, and this young man was SO MUCH BETTER

[@SusanBurchettComedy]

I heard the only murder in that production was Hasselhoff's singing "This is the Moment." That's a shame.

[@megansmith9726]

Anyone else just watch his AMAZING 2020 performance of this song, and came back to watch how much his voice had matured?!! He was incredible here, and he only got better!!!! 😭💕

[@michellemuir2249]

Megan Smith I agree!!!!

[@sonjaheinrichs1780]

I don’t know if you already saw transformation of 2020. I think his voice matured and in this song you can see the improvement, although I must say his change from his Jekyll part to is Hyde was in this version my favorite because he seems so innocent as Jekyll and that made his Hyde even more sinister. But the confidence in his voice in this year gives us a new take on his Jekyll not more little innocent „über ich“ and ich ( to use Freuds words) that is afraid of his animalistic side. More a moral driven man 🤷🏻‍♀️ maybe I interpret too much in it 😂

Such a brilliant song performed by an equally brilliant performer. This young man will do wonders!!! 👍🏼

[@붕굴러차기]

I don't care he was just a high school student or not. Even this video uploaded 5 years ago, this is best that I ever seen.

3:01 - 3:10 I’ve been listening to this bit on repeat and I can’t stop, my god what a voice. And it’s so adorable when he says “and make some sense at last” with that little smile

[@rickappleby7661]

Every time I watch another TKA show video, I meet another great talent and this young man is fantastic! Kudos to the team for recognizing great talent and for them giving a platform for these fine young men to showcase their God given talents for everyone to enjoy!

Not for English accents though He is truly amazing otherwise

This kid needs to move to New York and play on Broadway!!! He’s incredible at such a young age I can only imagine how great he will grow. I hope to see him on Broadway one day.

[@catmanran]

Amazing high school production! I agree with a few others though that the piano needed to be toned down so it doesn't overshadow the singer. Now, this may just be the fact that it is being recorded from the audience area and the live production sounded different, but I can only gto on what I see and hear here.

Great vocals - my only criticism of this entire thing is the volume of the piano and the over pedaling the pianist partakes in - but I guess as a long time MD and Piano Conductor it's those little things I hear that grind... but this guy has huge potential. Nice production work too :)

[@kaiqualls815]

Who is he? Someone please tell me! A voice like that needs to be known by name. I cried and that only happens when someone hits a sweet note and this kid fucking SLAYED this song. I’ve been trying to get my tenor range back but this is something I’ve never been able to do. In my past “Phantom of The Opera” or “Music Of the Night” was considered slightly difficult but no I can tell you with pure confidence that this is the hardest tenor song I’ve ever attempted. He’s incredibly good for a highschooler.

[@DhanbeeSuh]

One year late, but he's Gregorio Umana! He actually reprised this role at TKA in 2020, and yes, he's absolutely incredible!

[@user-ch2hl4er6s]

This is the moment... This is the day When I send all my doubts And demons on their way! Every endeavor I have made ever Is coming into play Here and now, today... This is the moment... This is the time When the momentum and the moment Are in rhyme! Give me this moment This precious chance! I'll gather up my past And make some sense at last! This is the moment When all I've done: All of the dreaming- Scheming and screaming- Become one! This is the day- See it sparkle and shine- When all I've lived for Becomes mine! For all these years I've faced the world alone! And now the time has come To prove to them: I made it On my own! This is the moment My final test! Destiny beckoned- I never reckoned second best! I won't look down I must not fall This is the moment- The sweetest moment Of them all! This is the moment! Damn all the odds! This day or never I'll sit forever with the gods! When I look back I will always recall Moment for moment- This was the moment- The greatest moment Of them all!
