Description / My Opinion
Amazon.com - Ordered 06/10/1999 - Shipped 06/11/1999 - Received 06/21/1999

The booklet contains 1 big B&W picture of the 3 main performers, 2 medium and three small B&W pictures of the performers and authors, one big B&W picture of the ensemble, one small picture of the Jekyll & Hyde Girls and one small picture of the authors and the director. There is an introduction by Gregory Boyd (director), a foreword by Leslie Bricusse, a 4 pages synopsis. There are also two pages of thanks by the main performers and other people implied in the project.

I think this recording is much more interesting than the Original Broadway Cast. It is very complete, there are melodies that seem to have been made more simple for the OBC, but that were really nice in this recording. Obviously, Anthony Warlow is a great singer. He is a different Jekyll than Bob Cuccioli though, but I love his way of performing. He has a purer voice, a more thrilling voice, but lacks a little Bob's bestiality when performing Hyde. Enough said of Linda Eder, who has a beautiful voice. A note about Carolee Carmello, who also has a more legit voice than Christiane Noll, but that may be a "studio" arrangement, I didn't hear her before.

It's quite incredible how some songs were changed for the OBC. Generally I do prefer this version's melodies. This is a fantastic recording.
