Me: damn this cast is amazing, why didn’t I have the presence of mind to go see them before it closed?! Me: **remembers I wasn’t born yet** oh yeah

[@NemeyukoP]

Oh mood

Coleen and Rob are fantastic.Don't miss the duet "In His Eyes"

[@singerAR0406]

Thank you xoxo

[@charleeblair]

I remember seeing Rob Evans and Coleen Sexton on Broadway! They were amazing!

[@singerAR0406]

I'm so sad, I was so sick and wasn't able to hit the high notes at the performance. Coleen and Rob were so generous and wonderful to me... sigh

I would never have guessed. You have such an amazingly strong and clear voice, I have watched the available performances many times over and when you sing it appears so effortless, as if you are just speaking. I watch or listen to musicals daily, it is just part of my life and brings me so much joy. Since I don't get a chance to say this to performers, thank you for sharing your gift.

[@singerAR0406]

@@terrylewis_ thank you so much for this sweet compliment. It means so much to me!!! I hope you have a beautiful holiday season and happy new year!

Wow, I’m a fan Ms. Rivette! it’s was so exciting to see you commented on this! Please don’t worry, you sound fantastic, this is like my hundredth rewatch.

[@singerAR0406]

@@MusicCoversByEssie so sweet!! =) I just never did an alternate note in shows but of course it was captured here! Lol!!

[@MusicCoversByEssie]

Andrea Rivette, oh wow, your comment made my day! I’m a bit of a Broadway geek, and you inspired me to read my Jekyll and Hyde playbills and play through the piano/conductor score. 😂 if you don’t mind, (and please don’t feel obligated to answer), I wondered if you ever met Mr. Wildhorn and if he was nice. He’s one of my musical heroes! Again, you made my day, and I just think you’re fantastic.

[@trb7153]

Rob Evans has an amazing voice, and is a wonderful actor.David H, on the other hand.... well, there is a DVD out there with the wrong male actor in the lead role....

[@singerAR0406]

I wish there was a better version of Rob, Coleen and I too. The camera rehearsal video of the matinee was good but not mixed. Very raw. Plus, I was very aware that I was being filmed. I prefer this bootleg even though I was sick. The chemistry I had with Rob was very genuine and sweet. I love him. =)

[@sohillsvettech1624]

Andrea I love the 3 of you in this musical!!! The chemistry all of you have is amazing! FYI you don’t sound sick either. The 3 of you became these characters along with all of your amazing voices!!! Like you, I wish there was a better recording but I’ll take this!!! ❤️

[@JohnDoe-gk7ok]

@@singerAR0406 I noticed in the Hasselhoff film that there was instrumentation during certain scenes that I cannot find in any other bootleg. For example, during the scene where Utterson confronts Hyde, there is complete silence, but in the film there is background music. Was this all added in post-production?

[@singerAR0406]

@@JohnDoe-gk7ok yes! It was added =)

57:52 What an amazing character choice. Opening the drawer on the left hand side and slamming it shut in a rage wwhen he can't find them because Hyde is left handed and would keep his letters there...

This show and this cast: exquisite! I remember watching this show for the first time in 2001. Rob, Andrea, and Coleen are tour de forces in musical theatre. Devoted fan forever!

[@laMerseo]

This is the best version to me

[@rachelnoble5540]

I agree I watched the one where David Hasselholf where played as Jekyll and Edward Hyde on KZbin, I did not mind him playing as Henry Jekyll and Edward Hyde but to me I think that he did a better job as Edward Hyde then as Henry Jekyll. Rob Evan that’s playing as Henry Jekyll and Edward Hyde In this version I find him more believable as Henry Jekyll and terrifying as Edward Hyde. As Henry Jekyll I felt his embarrassment and abandonment when he asked the people of Saint Jude hospital to let him have a test subject to test his experiment on and they all of them said no so he became his own test subject and the nervousness when Lucy mentioned that Edward Hyde bit her on her neck I saw that he started sweating and almost fainted from shock and guilt when she mentioned that name and nervously asking her why did she come to him?. As Edward Hyde he felt free and he also killed the 4 scientists that embarrassed him as Jekyll and surprisingly were hypocrites. I would rather watch all of the other previous actors that played as Henry Jekyll and Edward Hyde in Jekyll & Hyde over David Hasselhoff for some reason some people think that he did a great job as Henry Jekyll and Edward Hyde I disagree because when I watched Jekyll & Hyde with him as Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde on KZbin, I did not like his version of Jekyll to me he was too full of it and annoying but his Hyde was awesome. David Hasselhoff is an awesome actor but a terrible Henry Jekyll.

[@trb7153]

Emma, played by Andrea Rivette (sp?), rocks my world. Her voice is simply exquisite. AMAZING. In Once Upon a Dream, and in the duet In His Eyes. WOW.

[@jessicazeller8060]

T She is incredible! Although, I get the feeling that she was not in best voice for this performance because she doesn’t sing Emma’s high notes in her duets (Take Me As I Am and In His Eyes) and in the finale, merely wimpers instead of screams when Hyde grabs her.

[@singerAR0406]

@@jessicazeller8060 jessica you are 100% correct. I was very ill during this time. I was misdiagnosed with a thyroid condition for many months. (Grave's disease). My thyroid was very enlarged and it made singing extremely difficult. I did the best I could. I'm so sad that my time during the show was such a challenge. I loved it so much. Is this your bootleg, btw?

[@singerAR0406]

Thank you so much, T. I was very sick during this performance...=( your comment means a lot to me. Xoxo

[@jessicazeller8060]

Andrea Rivette I am so sorry to hear you were ill here and received a misdiagnosis. I admire you for powering through it because the show must go on! This video does not belong to me, but I do have a copy of the DVD performance! I’m a huge fan! ☺️

[@jessicazeller8060]

Andrea Rivette I reread my original comment, and by no means did I intend to make my original comment disparagingly, so I apologize if it came across that way. You’re amazing! 😊

[@sohillsvettech1624]

I love these 3 soooooo much they r just perfect, gold to me!!!! Incredible chemistry and voices, just so natural and comfortable together. Amazing!!!

[@singerAR0406]

Thank you so so much! It means so much to me to read this today. Xoxo I loved this show and it was my honor to get to play Emma on Broadway

[@taylormcmanus670]

This needs to be back on Broadway

[@JulietteVeronica1201]

I love how he completely demonized his voice for Hyde. Usually most actors just make their voice lower, but it’s still relatively the same.

[@sohillsvettech1624]

Alexia dark.......thanks for posting this!!! Love Rob, he's amazing!!! Thanks!

[@enriquetorres5497]

i just love this guy.

[@terrylewis_]

I watch this at least once a month. And I prefer this version to the other available. Given the age, and the fact that is a bootleg I think it's really well shot and the sound is pretty darn good. I wish there was an album with these three, they're my favorite. I have such a fondness for Andrea's voice, it's so ...effortlessly angelic. Coleen really wow'd me, I would've loved to see how she would have done "bring on the men" but I personally love Good & Evil, esp. her version. Rob is an absolute powerhouse, I got to watch a recording of him doing Beethoven's Last Night as well. His voice is so wonderful!

[@Bakerboy1958]

We got to see Luba Mason and she was Fantastic!

[@rachelnoble5540]

I love how in Act 2 when Lord Archie, Lady Beaconsfield, and Lord Savage are leaving from a charity event and you can clearly see that they could care less about this event and what’s even more amusing is that they did not even notice that Mr. Hyde was standing right in front of them and was listening to their conversation this whole time until he says “Well,well, if it isn’t faith, hope, and charity!. Then they noticed him .

[@RannonsmrY]

Every time I see someone post about Coleen in this show, they say Linda ran rings around her. But if they saw this version they'd realise that just wasn't true. Coleen has an incredible voice! She hits those notes like they're nothing. I loved her in the one with the Hoff but in this one her voice sounds so much stronger. I wish people could hear this one so they could stop being so damn rude

[@jessicazeller8060]

Little Dreamer That is completely unfair for people to make those comparisons. Linda and Coleen are both great. They bring something different to the role. I prefer Linda’s voice, but Coleen is the better actress, IMO. I like them both!

[@brinmoody]

@@jessicazeller8060 Linda wasn't acting hardly at all, cause Frank Wildhorn wrote and shaped Lucy around her personality thus meaning she didn't have to really act at all cause Linda wasn't an actress prior. Lucy is Linda. I love Coleen as Lucy, as she has more energy, and yes, I agree, Linda is vocally better. So Coleen (who is still amazing vocally) wins overall, Linda for vocals.

[@jessicazeller8060]

Alex Song Yeah, I know that.

[@JulietteVeronica1201]

Alex Song I have to agree tbh. To me, it’s not about the vocal range or how strong your voice is when it comes to Broadway. I personally think it is shaping the character to real life and living in it on stage. Coleen did a better job since she was the better actress.

[@andysteinbock9636]

Just seeing this makes me wish they used Rob Evan for the Direct To Broadway release. He definitely fits the roles of Jekyll & Hyde to a t unlike David Hasselhoff.

[@rachelnoble5540]

Mr. Hyde killed Lucy for two reasons the first one was out of jealousy because he wanted her all for himself and the second reason is that he was already unstable mentally and he knew that she was lying and he felt that she was going to abandon him.

[@singerAR0406]

Dear This Strage Obsession, would you mind crediting me in this video along with Rob and Coleen? I'd really appreciate it.

This Jekyll &Hyde 2000 video is the fixed version of this musical and it also shows the wedding scene and the 2001 Jekyll & Hyde video for this musical is messed up.

[@matthias66]

Why the hell was this not the filmed DVD version? Rob Evans was spot on. Hasselhoff- mediocre singing and overacting. It annoys me that they did not film Rob Evans and turn it into the DVD. What a waste- Hasselhoff! Rob Evan knows what side his bread is buttered on. Hasselhoff- gave it the good ol' college try, but didn't come close to making the team.

[@zipzapzop6519]

Agreed

[@singerAR0406]

Without David it never would have been filmed at all. There is a copy posted here on youtube of the three of us that was filmed professionally during the same week they filmed Hoff
