Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Jekyll and Hyde makes me cry! Comment: I went to see a friend of mine take the role of Jekyll and Hyde at the theatre recently, and cried practically the whole way through the performance! It may have been partly because it was Alec singing, but the songs are all so emotive and powerful, I defy anyone (who has a heart!) not to cry - especially when listening to 'Take Me As I Am', or 'Someone Like You'... beautiful. Customer Rating: Summary: Good but not evil! Comment: This CD gives the majority of the scores from the musical Jekyll and Hyde which has been a hit on Broadway (and in other countries, through tours) alike. If you have seen this performance live, this CD will remind you of how much a good time you had when you saw it and make you want to go again. If you havent, the songs lead you through the story of Jekyll and Hyde by Robert-Louis Stevenson. Creatively speaking, the music is very playful. Its gothic but melodic, its powerful and soft: A must for anyone. The lyrics themselves can be listened to, without great depth. But, if you listen to them carefully (or read them off the CD insert) you can get a deeper meaning to the musical that anyone can relate to and sympathise with. But dont be fooled into believing this CD only contains emotional pap! Its mixture of music and emotions leave you bedazzled. Likewise Songs such as "Murder,Murder!" and "Facade" never leave your mind. Ive listened to this CD so many times after seeing it, its now beggining to jump. Its such a shame it appears to be going off the theatres. BUY THIS and SEE the production before its too late!! Customer Rating: Summary: Fantastic Comment: I have only heard the music to the show, but i was blown away. i hadnt really heard much about the show, and so held low hopes for it, but after hearing the music im gutted i missed the show when it toured to the city right next to me! the music is brilliant, with 'this is my moment' especially standing out. for those who like a good old musical anthem, this cd is a must. Customer Rating: Summary: Absolutely brilliant Comment: Having had the pleasure of seeing the UK tour in Wolverhampton I would like to both recommend the show & the original broadway cast recording. Whilst Paul Nicholas is rather weak the rest of the cast more than make up for his lack. The CD with mr Cuccioli shows just what is possible & is in my opinion a must buy for anyone who has seen the show. The music & lyrics are both powerful & at the same time appealing. There are songs that will remind you of many musicals ( Cats, Le Mis, & Phantom to name just three ) Overall I would rate this CD as excellent as it truly embodies both the feel & power of the original RL Stevenson novel. If you see no other musical this year add this to your "must see" list Customer Rating: Summary: Jekyll and Hyde UK Comment: Jekyll and Hyde is a great musical, and is currently on tour in the UK starring Paul Nicholas and Shona Lindsey. However, this CD is not of the same version of the musical, many songs are missing and others are substituted with others. If you want a soundtrack resembling the UK tour, then search Amazon for "Jekyll and Hyde:Gothic Musical" to get the concept album on which the UK version is based. More Reviews
