Frank Wildhorn, Leslie Bricusse, Anthony Warlow, Linda Eder, Carolee Carmello, John Raitt - Jekyll & Hyde - The Gothic Musical Thriller (1994 Concept Cast)

Classic J&H album

While it is likely that Anthony Warlow will ever play the role of Jekyll again this is certainly a must for every fan! July 29, 2008

Jekyll&Hyde:The Complete Work.....the gothic musical thriller concept cast.

i cannot recommend this album enough!i have actually bought 4 copies of this just in case something happens to 1 of them and givin 2 away as presents to friends.I'm not really a musical lover but something in this musical concept cd,just spoke to me.The international cast are brilliant, why broadway didn't snap them up for its production i'll never know. ANTHONY WARLOW,LINDA EDER & CAROLEE CARMELLO are fantastic.ANTHONY WARLOW is Australias' loved and leading Baritone, his version of "This Is The Moment" is haunting and memorable.If you have second thoughts about buying this cd,DON'T!.Just remember half of Australia is looking for copies and if they realise they can get copies here they'll sellout!
P.S still not sure look up Anthony Warlow;This is the moment on youtube! May 31, 2008

A GREAT MUSICAL!

I followed some tips offered in this page in the sense of getting this concept album and, sicerely, I thank you. it's a terrific album, beautiful songs, great orchestrations and a very attractive story. Besides, the presentation of the album is flawless: you have the text for the lyrics and the case is very elegant. Not cheap but worth the price and the experience to have the best and most complete version. May 9, 2008

Best Musical Recording Ever

Not only does Anthony Warlow prove himself to be the best musical singer in the world at the moment (go, Aussie, go!) but Jekyll and Hyde is a fantastic musical with great lyrics and a mature score. I hope it is staged professionally in Australia one day, with Anthony singing the lead of course :) March 19, 2008

Stunning Vocals and a Haunting Score

This has to be one of my absolute favorite musicals of all time. Anthony Warlow is both heartbreaking as Dr. Henry Jekyll and chilling as Edward Hyde. Linda Eder also shines as Lucy Harris, a saucy but vulnerable prostitute who falls for Jekyll but is ultimately destroyed by a jealous Hyde. Carolee Carmello delivers a reasonably good performance as Jekyll's strong-willed fiancee, Lisa (known as "Emma" in later recordings), and the supporting cast also enchants.

This recording fortunately features the song "I Need to Know" (my favorite track), which was later cut from the show. "Bring on the Men" (also cut from the Broadway version) is another song worth listening to.

My only complaint is the ending song, a slightly cheesy finish which puts a damper on an otherwise masterful score and libretto. The only thing which makes it semi-bearable are the strong vocals by Warlow.

However, keep in mind that this is only one track out of thirty five, and the other thirty four are certainly worth having!

Bottom Line: Neither the music nor the singers disappoint; this is an album to buy and it was worth every penny I paid for it! December 20, 2007
