Gregorio’s voice had matured so much since the last production. His notes are so polished and natural, he sings so effortlessly! Bravo!

The shivering in her voice at the beginning is incredible, she sounds legitimately afraid! And changing the lines a bit made all the difference, it gives a completely different feeling at the end than the last performance!

Gregorio has grown into the role very well. His actions are more intentional (even more than before!) and his voice and facial expressions have more malice in it. And Lucy's internal conflict is externalized so well! Olivia takes this interplay between fear and desire and makes it her own. Watching this makes me genuinely afraid for her. I didn't realize I've been holding my breath through all this until the end. I love this interpretation!

Caitlin Tan I agree with you on every aspect of what you wrote. You can see the malicious intent in Hyde more than the previous version. His nuances are a lot more defined, such as when he holds Lucy and takes her up the stairs.

I don't think I could be more impressed by other productions than this academy stages. To be that young and talented, those kids must have got smacked with the tree branch of talent!

There was Jekyll/Hyde, Utterson, and another colleague of Jekyll that I can’t remember his name, as main characters. Am I missing something that’s really obvious? Are the female characters some creative liberties the writers of the musical took to make it more interesting? Or like do these characters actually exist in like a different version of the story?

I get the feeling from these videos it is very competitive and a couple actors get the leads every time. Doesn't look like it is as fun for the rest. I'm very glad my love for performing wasn't punched out of me at a very young age by being made to perform at a very high level like this and to compete with my peers. That would have killed me, although I know not everyone is like me. Some people would thrive in these situations, it just isn't for me. These people produce very high quality art, which is why I watch their videos. But it makes me sad to always see the same people in the leading roles. They're a school, shouldn't their focus be on giving everyone an equal opportunity to learn and grow instead of on making good art? Again, feel free to disagree, I know not everyone has my opinions on education, I just wanted to share that it may not be as good as it looks to outsiders. As a kid I wanted to go to a school like this to, and in hindsight I'm very glad my parents didn't let me.

I love the symbolism of this scene. The lighting of this scene works to contrast the difference between the male and female actors on stage. For example, the male is in the shadows, while the female is in the light. The height difference between the two is another reason why I love this scene. It's a great way of showing the male character as being in control of the woman. His movements are more powerful than the woman, especially when gets thrown across the balcony. His voice is more clear than in the previous production. The tone of his voice changes alongside the character. For example, the actor, when he's playing Jekyll, sings in a tenor voice and has more of an Italian accent. When he is Hyde, he goes back to his natural accent and has a baritone voice.

THIS. IS. HOW. YOU. DO. THIS. SONG! 😱🙌🏽. The singing and acting literally had me in awe!

You can see the balance between the tension and the attraction in this scene.

He was 21 when this was done earlier on this year and 17 in the 2016 production.

Why isn’t anyone talking about how amazing Lucy was! She was soooo good!

The fact that his voice is lower than it was in 2016, only makes it better.

She's stunning! Both of them are :)

This Edward Hyde is amazing 🤩 I love that he pulls Lucy close at the last word (unlike most productions when Lucy pushes Hyde away)

I actually get scared for Lucy at this point. I know that she is acting, but she is so convincing as someone who is genuinely frightened.

This song has "the point of no return" from the POTO vibes... And I like it... 😏

I think that this is when Lucy knows that Hyde and Jekyll are the same person. I also think it is Hyde from the start especially after "a darker dream".

The use of stringed instruments (as used in the piece), is used to create a sense of danger and suspense. Bernard Herman uses this to brilliant effect in "Psycho". It is also used to make a scene more tense and suggest that a person is a murderous psychopath.

Gregorio and Olivia are perfect together❤️👏🏻

They both have incredibly good and strong voices that complement each other very well. It's especially impressive given how young they both are.

It's breathtaking every time. Chills.

In the 2014 production the way he lured her up the stair case wasn't nearly as threatening and persuasive. This one... Is just perfection. He has mastered every motion. Every note. Truly the master of the Jekyll/Hyde role.

I love seeing how much Gregorio grew as an actor/singer. I was lowkey afraid for Lucy too!

WOW, she is talented! This is probably my favorite version of Lucy. She shows the fear and lust so so clearly.

Какие прекрасные, чистые голоса!!

I think that the costume department should get some credit. The clothes that each character were popular during Queen Victoria!s reign, where the story was written and set.

i saw the difference in gregorio's vocals but similar which is great he's consistent and i think the lucy's were very different and that played off of him which made him all more creepier this lucy was more afraid and you can feel the chill she felt with him and the way he lead her you could feel she was building to him which made it more powerful the only thing was at the top of the bridge i wished there was more pulling to each other but all in all great job ive been singing for 20 plus years jekyll and hyde is one of my favorite musicals it has a point of no return from phantom feeling and i felt that throughout the song which is great vocals were strong

This is the equivalent of a seduction scene in the musical. The music was originally called Seduction in the early version of the musical.

oh my gosh! the 2016 show popped up on my homepage last night, I watched it three years ago and I remember being slightly obsessed with it (apparently I commented on it twice lol). I couldn’t believe he was 17 then and now he’s matured a bit and he’s even better. and that Lucy!! goodness gracious, what talent! they’re going places. tbh I don’t like this show very much on its own but that production is *it* for me. i don’t like any other cast. I bet one day he’ll win the Tony I wanted for him three years ago and I’ll go ‘omg it’s doctor jekyll!’ 😂

I know that this is acting but this is way too convincing!

What is their budget for productions? Dang.

Hyde-looks like Banderas. Sounds like Banderas Jekyll-looks and sounds like Cuccoli. Speaking -Chuck Wagner Technically like Warlow and Karimloo combined.

Well damn. Not what I was expecting. But good. Lol

これ何のシーンですか？
