Editorial Review:
Baywatch alum David Hasselhoff stars in the dual title roles of Jekyll and Hyde: The Musical, Frank Wildhorn and Leslie Bricusse's version of Robert Louis Stevenson's gothic horror classic. The story of the brilliant scientist who uncovers the good and evil aspects of the human heart was a pay-per-view event on the Broadway Television Network, filmed on stage before a live audience. If that audience had seen a lot of Broadway shows, they probably didn't see much they hadn't seen before, but its familiar plot and accessible pop score give Jekyll and Hyde a certain appeal, especially for musical novices.
Notable songs for Coleen Sexton and Andrea Rivette (as good girl Lucy and bad girl Emma, respectively) include "Someone Like You," "Once Upon a Dream," and the duet "In His Eyes." Hasselhoff cuts an imposing figure but is somewhat unsteady in such anthems as "This Is the Moment," which are tailor-made for big voices (for example, Linda Eder, Wildhorn's wife and the creator of the Lucy role). --David Horiuchi
The longest-running show in the history of Broadway's Plymouth Theatre Jekyll & Hyde: The Musical brings new life to Robert Louis Stevenson's classic story of romance and the epic battle between good and evil. A whirlwind odyssey pitting man against himself is set in motion when the brilliant Dr. Jekyll's medical experiment backfires giving life to his evil alter ego Edward Hyde. The show won a legion of repeat visitors (dubbed by the press as "Jekkies") and spawned hit songs on the pop charts with "Someone Like You" and "This Is the Moment."System Requirements:Running Time: 134 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: MUSICALS/MUSICALS Rating: NR UPC: 014381362626 Manufacturer No: ID3626WRDVD

Rating:  - My impression of this musical
I like this musical. The performance is great, Hasselhoff plays and sings wonderfully, the cast is perfect. The graphics are well done, the colours are very similar to life, the music sounds well and very clear and it seems you are sitting in the hall.
The show is very spectacular , emotional and dynamic. The scene of transformation looks like a real transformation and delivers the idea very well. You can almost believe to the actor, he really changes his appearance and behaviour. ... Read More
Rating: - Ignore HASSELHOFF!!!!! listen to those leading ladies!!
Their is no doubt that David Hasselhoff was terrible. but i will give him credit. His acting was superb. Unfortunately his voice couldn't back up his acting. But lets think about the positive. The cast surrounding Hasselhoff was AMAZING!!! Coleen Sexton as Lucy Harris gives Linda Eder a run for her money. Her tone was so much prettier than linda eders diva sound. I will say with full confidence that "Good and Evil" and "Someone like you" were the best numbers on this dvd. I would definately suggest buying ... Read More
Rating:  - Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde the musical with David Hasseloff
I really enjoyed watching Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde the musical with David Hasseloff. I was truly surprised at how great David Hasseloff performance was as Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Not only was he amazing to watch but the rest of the cast was also a pleasure to watch.
Rating: - A brillant show
Although Hasselhoff has nothing on Anthony Warlow, Jekyll and Hyde is a real masterpiece. True its music does mimic many previous well know stage musicals but it is still brillant in every sense of the word. Songs like Someone Like You and In His Eyes stand alone as examples of why this musical should not be judge so harshly. Just because it came out after other successes doesn't mean it is attempting to copy them and even if it is it is merely because those shows were hits and who wouldn't want their 'baby' ... Read More
Rating: - Not a huge David fan
I am a huge fan of musicals, and Jeckyll and Hyde has been my favorite for years! It was one of the first shows I saw on stage and I immediately fell in love with it. I was disappointed in David Hasselhoff's performance. I love the music from Jeckyll and Hyde. Some of the songs were simply meant for big, strong voices. Sadly, David's voice is neither big nor strong. I still recommend the DVD because there is really no other choice and it is worth watching, despite Hasselhoff. However, if you are not ... Read More
