after watching a few renditions i think this is my favorite version of the musical here on youtube along with the 1995 pre-broadway recording kzread.info/dash/bejne/foaa0dhqcbTZXaw.htmlsi=rAhOySioHZpToRfY this one is so good but i wish they hadn't strayed from the original lyrics it feels a bit rushed. and there's a certain amount of fabricated feeling that comes the more 'showbizzed' it gets.. although the actors did very well and passionate in spite of that aspect here. another thing is the lights flashing/hair flip on top of the fast voice switches i feel like makes it harder for the actor to simply focus on the character change... i am a bit of a perfectionist though.. it is wonderful production. everyone working so hard in sync, i find myself mesmerized lol

this is my favorite recording , second only to the 1995 pre broadway tour recording... honorable mention to the Alley Theatre 1990 recording... that captures the real raw essence of the story

This has the best version of confrontation I have ever heard fr

I don't know why these two were just understudies. This is probably my favorite Lucy ever. Strong vocals, phenomenal acting!

sadly, that is show bizz . I've done many shows where the understudies were better than the lead. it's unfair why I don't really do musicals anymore the favoritism is unbearable.

A lot of the time the US's are better or at least equal. Sometimes it is name recognition that determines who the lead is. The bigger the name the more tickets get sold. The original Broadway cast with Robert C and Linda E was awesome. I know someone who saw the very first production in Houston. Chuck, not Jack, Wagner played the lead. Chuck has done a lot on Broadway and I have no doubt was totally awesome. I know I guy who is currently playing the lead in San Antonio. It is a two week run at Fort San Houston. I hope to go before it closes. My wife and son went tonight. Oh, but definitely this US cast was awesome. I still slightly prefer Robert C but it's close. This is said to be one of the hardest leading roles ever.

This recording is such a gift. I absolutely adore this Lucy understudy, especially the emotion she puts into "A New Life". She sounds really great with Andrea Rivette, too. Also, this Jekyll/Hyde is one of the best I've seen, and I've listened to every soundtrack and watched pretty much every production on KZread. I really like his body language, especially as Hyde. Seriously an impressive cast, can't believe these two were understudies.

1:57:35 for those looking for The Confrontation

In his eyes is such a pretty song. It has always been my favourite song but I think this version is my favourite. Both voices go together really nicely. Such a lovely song to listen to.

Wow, Joe really sold “This is the Moment.” Well done! Other than Warlow, this is the first time I actually liked this song. ETA: And his “Confrontation” was the best I’ve ever seen. 😮

Andrea Rivette is absolutely phenomenal. And Whitney as the U/S is amazing as well.

Wow I worked on this show and even I have never heard of these understudies 😮 I was in attendance for at least 6 shows (plus opening and closing nights/after parties) as well as for the ridiculous amounts of reshoots done every time a new Jekyll was cast (which was part of the campaign and why the show lasted as long as it did) Hey OP - I have a lot of full length recordings of this show from the pre Broadway tour onward - I have only uploaded about 5 or 6 versions so far; in order to gage the interest. I would really love to upload this to my channel (do check it out❣️and , of course, I would credit you however you may wish 🖤) but I wouldn’t ever offload and reload it without permission

Probably two of the best understudies I've seen.

Was this while Rob Evan was Jekyll/Hyde? I know that this is an understudy I’m just curious for the time this was around for the show.

Rob was the matinee alternate during Jack Wagner's and David Hasselhoff's run in 2000-- but when this video was shot, Joe Mahowald was the alternate:: doing the matinees for Sebastian Bach.

nope! Thats me as Lucy (read the caption). That's okay, my skin is thicker now than it was back then and your comment about my singing doesn't hurt as much as it once would have. (still hurts a little, though). I was also the swing for the entire female cast and the Emma U/S as well. Emma was more in my vocal range than Lucy, for sure. After this show I quit broadway and left NYC because I was so shaken with doubt that I was meant to perform for a living. Being in J&H really messed with the confidence of the female leads and understudies, many of us came away from that show doubting ourselves... ask Andrea, ask Coleen. It was messed up. Unless you were Linda, of course! She could do no wrong... her voice is very, very unique and her range is like no one else's. Her keys were super tough to sing in.
