No musical has ever held you like JEKYLL & HYDE. The musical thriller that haunted Broadway for nearly four years has been reborn… reimagined… and reenergized with two brand new stars – Tony® Nominee Constantine Maroulis and Grammy® Nominee Deborah Cox.
This dark and dangerous love story returns in a stunning new production that includes all the classic songs (“This is the Moment”, “A New Life”, “Someone Like You”) that first grabbed audiences by the throat and transformed JEKYLL & HYDE into a four-time Tony Award nominated theatrical phenomenon. Conceived for the stage by Tony and Grammy Award nominee Frank Wildhorn and Steve Cuden, JEKYLL & HYDE features a book & lyrics by two-time Oscar winner, Emmy winner and four-time Tony Award nominee Leslie Bricusse, music by Frank Wildhorn, and direction & choreography by Tony Award nominee Jeff Calhoun.
Jekyll and Hyde was fantastic! The singing was beautiful, the sets were interesting, and I believe it was very well cast.
Constantine was meant to play this role. He only gets better and better with every production he is involved in. His vocal ability is outstanding. His rendition of "This is the Moment" was breathtakingly. Constantine definitely put his heart and soul into this play. Deborah Cox was also amazing in her role as were the other cast members. Jekyll and Hyde is well worth the price of the ticket.
This play was amazing. The range and clarity of the voices was awesome. More of a darker play and if you are looking for a happy ending, you may want to see Cinderella. Constantine was the perfect Jeklyll and Hyde. Ms. Cox gave an outstanding vocal performance. Not really for younger kids.
Overall, we were very disappointed with the male lead's voice. He did well with his Mr. Hyde songs but bombed the Dr. Jekyl songs. The opening song in the second half "Murder" should have been performed with syncopation and instead was overly simplified. The set was mediocre. This performance was not at all what we would have expected for a Broadway show. The female leads saved it from being a "poor" performance.
The first act of Jekyll and Hyde was way too loud. You could not understand the lyrics sung by Constantine Maroulis at all for the excessive volume. In that regard the second act was more tolerable, the women have beautiful voices and their volume was perfect The sets were minimalistic, that may be a reflection of the Gothic nature of this story. All in all it was the first Broadway play I have come away from feeling disappointed.
Female lead was great but otherwise the show was disappointing. Vocal talent was there, but the acting left much to be desired.
I have seen better Dr. Jeckyll's in the past. However, Constantine Maroulis' interpretation of Hyde is absolutely genius and second to none.
Amazing show. Must see. Would go again. Don't miss it.
While I think that Constantine and Debora Cox were great, the show itself was just blah for me. I don't think this is a great pic for a musical. I would have like to see more of a play for this one.
Deborah Cox was FLAWLESS and Constantine was AMAZING!!! This show is a must see! Do not miss this show.
We have seen 17 of 20 musicals on Broadway, and this was the worst show - across the board - we have seen in years. Seats were excellent, but lyrics were simplistic, and except for Ms. Cox, who was very good, the singing was either screeching or just plain poor. Effects were, at best, weak. All in all, a wasted couple of hundred bucks. We stayed, but many others left at intermission.
I absolutely loved this production of Jekyll and Hyde. This was my third time to see it since it started its road tour last year, and each time it was better than before. The leads, Constantine Maroulis, Deborah Cox, and Teal Wicks were perfectly cast. Constantine and Teal's voices are crystal clear, and Deborah Cox's sultry and sensual voice-beautiful, as is she. Updated since the original musical in the 90's, the orchestra, sets, sounds, choreography, and technology are phenomenal. If you like rock-you'll love this show. Kudos to the cast, crew, and orchestra-you rock! Thanks also to Frank Wildhorn for the beautiful scores.
Yes, it is a little melodramatic... sometimes verging on being a little silly. But, damn, was this show entertaining! The voices are stellar. The production is a macabre spectacle. I was totally transported.
The singing was INCREDIBLE. Constantine was a passionate and believable Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
It was thoroughly enjoyable. Cast was great, music was great. A good time was had.
I came to this production eager and hopeful. I loved the first production and thought this was Wildhorn's best score with some beautiful ballads. Unfortunately this production was laughably horrendous. Constantine Maroulis was smug and screechy--no charm or charisma. The woman who played Emma was horrible. Iwish she'd play closer attention to how Christianne Noll managed this music. However, Debra Cox was wonderful. She had a tough act to follow with her predecessor, Linda Eder, but she brought her own unique interpretation and was warm, loveable, and riveting in both voice and acting.
The singing and acting was amazing. Constantine Maroulis & Deborah Cox were great together!
I enjoyed the show but for the fact that the music was too loud. Songs would start out fine but they would increase the volume until it was unbearable. Louder does not improve the quality of the singing, it distorts and annoys. My head hurt.
It wasn't as good as the original show on Broadway but still very entertaining and worth seeing. The sets could use some upgrading.
I was so very much looking forward to seeing J & H, one of my favorite Broadway shows. How sorely dissappointed I was with this revival. The direction was poor at best, leaving holes in the production that the audience could clearly see. It's possible that the director felt that he had only singers to direct instead of actors. In that case, I feel that he was mistaken and could have taken his cast much further. I'm not sure why you would put dead characters on angled filligreed iron slabs for extended periods so that the audience could clearly see them breathing....although it was one of many instances of unintended comic relief. Changing the music in "Murder" from a brilliant piece of sharp toned, frantic, rhythmically exciting musical composition into a lethargic waltz-like composition was unkind not only to the composer but to the audience as well. Unfortunately, the Jekyll/Hyde character never got to play the famous Confrontation scene in the second act since the Hyde character was pre-recorded and projected onto a floating piece of scenery. Again, perhaps the director thought the actor didn't have the chops for the scene...but it was very disappointing. The singing voices were good, but this production could have better been presented in a concert version and saved everyone a lot of money. If this show is ever revived again, I would gladly run to see it as I think the music is brilliant.
