Jekyll & Hyde (Chicago) Tickets

We went to see this show because my wife is a big fan of Constatine Maroulis. He was very good. We enjoyed his performance. Many of the songs are also very good

If you are a Constantine fan or not this show doesn't disappoint. His voice is 5 star. I would see it again.

The night we saw the play Emmy Raver-Lampman filled in as Lucy and was a wonderful delight! She could easily play the lead. Constantine Maroulis was much less impressive at Jekyll/Hyde. He was hard to understand at times, maybe some remedial enunciation classes would help. I saw J&H years ago when it played Chicago and I remember the male lead being so much more powerful and believable in the role. In fact the only performer I founddisapointing was Maroulis. I also find it objectionable the number of "digital special effects" they put into the production. It's certainly not what I lok for in live theater.

Loved the singing more than the play. I'd go for the actors but not the play

A weird subject for a musical. Constantine voice not strong enough and is not right for the part. However, he gives his all and has a great presentation depicting the role of the main character. Cox gives a great performance and deserves all the praises. She has a strong voice but doesn't seem to conquer the stage. All in all, if you are looking for a serious opera evening, I suggest you go and experience the show; however, if the purpose is to have fun, avoid at all cost.

I agree with Chis Jones's review but I have to add Constantine is a better Hyde than Jekyll. He was choppy. He should be a gentle man with a passion. The duet with him and his gal was painful to watch. They need to be convincing and Constantine needs to let go of his rock star voice and have some training on theatrical voice. I think with some tweaking this show can be very good. Lastly what is with the guy and the dreads and the brides maids in seductive wear.

This is a rather dark play. We didn't know what to expect. The Chicago Tribune only gave it two stars, so we were expecting the worse. It was far better than what we had read about the play. It definetly kept your interest. The songs were very memorable and I liked the staging of the scenes. I thought it was done very cleverly. The male lead,played by Constantine Maroulis, was brilliant. We didn't care much for him as the Dr. Jekyll, but he came ALIVE as Hyde. I bet he'll be up for a Tony when this play appears on Broadway. The female lead, Deborah Cox, has such an amazing voice. She was wonderful. This is not a feel good play. It is different. But, keep an open mind when you see it and appreciate the talent, beautiful songs and creative staging. By the way, the audience was on the younger side. My husband and I are pushing 60 and we for the most part, liked it.

The show is boring and the only a few songs are actually done well.

One of the worst productions we have ever seen. You could not understand a lot of the dialog. The set was dark and drab. It was so dark it put you to sleep.

They never should have changed it from the original Broadway production. I did not realize that it was a "revival," and the songs and storyline have been altered. The old version was much, much better. The talent in the new version, however, was amazing! I was just aching to hear them sing the songs in the original version.

I loved it. I thought they did a great job with the show. I loved the voices, especially Deborah Cox. She was outstanding. I thought the scenery was very cleverly done.

Actor in title role was more about style than the music. Unintelligible lyrics marred his portrayal in most scenes, while the female lead stole the show. Hopefully they'll fix it before it opens on Broadway

Saw Jekyll & Hyde at the Cadillac Palace theatre in Chicago...it was a packed house and we soon found out why...The lead sang everything from an opera style to almost metal rock sound and was flawless. Both of the main character ladies were very good as well. See it!

By the time you park or travel to the theater it is not worth over $100 for a matinee to see this. There were many empty seats which just proves that theater in Chicago is way over priced and the average person cannot afford to go. Jekyll and Hyde seemed like a low budget production. A few songs were good but the script itself seemed amateur.

The only reason I bought tickets for this show was because of Deborah Cox and to only find out upon our arrival that she was going to be replaced by some unknown "other" that does not even come close to Deborah Cox vocal skills. The showed sucked.

Although the story was dark, the performances were great! At first we were disappointed that Deborah Cox was not there, but her understudy was superb! Very well done...

First disappointment was the fact that there was not a full orchestra, but instead 4 musicians and a synthesizer.... I have always loved the music from Jekyll & Hyde, and to have it synthesized and amplified like it was in this production was not satisfactory. The next disappointrment was the male star, who certainly was no Colm Wilkinson, but put an "American Idol" spin on his singing. I have to say that the understudy who played Lucy was fantastic. The sets were nice and the chorus did well. All in all I spent way too much money to watch this production. There were many emply seats on the Wed. afternoon matinee. All in all, I was sorry I went.

The performers were outstanding. The script was just all right, and the score was all right as well. Together it made for an enjoyable evening, but not one to rave above. There were good songs but nothing memorable, which is a shame because there were some outstanding vocals. The ending was almost abrupt. Maybe it was me as the audience gave the cast a standing ovation - especially for the 2 leads (Lucy and Jekyll/Hyde).

We were very disappointed with Jekyll & Hyde. The lead characters could sing (sometimes in a disturbing "slurping sound" though) but could not act. The orchestra played so loud at times that it overpowered not only the male individual singers but also the cast songs. The spot lighting was poorly executed in that it was not in sync with the movement of the actors. When the lead actress was stabbed in the back on the bed, she reacted about 10 seconds later! Our group almost laughed out loud! A group of students next to us paid $35 for each of their tickets. When I said that we wasted $88 per ticket, they responded that they wasted $35! We cannot recommend this show.

Terrible. The lead actor has very little musical theate talent. Every song consisted of him standing center stage and singing as loud and high as humanly possible. The loud inhale he took before he line was just dripping with salivia. Ruined the entire performace. The director choices were laughable. The 11 oclock number and ultimate moment of the show is the duet Jekyll and Hyde have with the actor typically jumping from one persona tp another. This version had him singing witha satantic voice over with an out of cobtxt video display. Seemed like a copout for the dramtic nature of the piece. It was actually the only show I have seen in which I considered leaving at intermission additionally I feel like my investments into the arts was wasted.
