Jekyl & Hyde in Concert was performed at the Lenape PAC, Marlton, NJ back in 2004 with Rob Evan as Jekyll/Hyde, Kate Shindle as Lucy and Lauren Kennedy as Emma. Sets were a stage and a chair, as I recall.
This was done with a 30 piece orchestra! No Board of Governors, No Facade, No Murder!Murder! and No Umbrellas!

Heard the cast singing live on Sirius Broadway channel today while driving. Wasn't too impressed. Not bad vocals, but nothing to make me want to buy a ticket. I still might have to just see how much of a mess this is.
No ***** is strong enough to make the show any good.

“ 'Did anyone laugh?' James Whale asks his gardener, Clayton Boone, in Bill Condon’s Gods and Monsters. Clayton had just caught Whale’s movie, The Bride of Frankenstein, on TV the night before. Covering, and afraid of insulting his employer, Clayton lies: 'No.' 'Pity,' replies Whale. 'People are so earnest nowadays.' Shocked, Clayton asks, 'Why? Was it supposed to be funny?' 'Of course!' cries Whale. 'I had to make it interesting for myself, you see. A comedy about death. The trick is not to ruin it for anyone who isn’t in on the joke.'
"Jekyll & Hyde, currently running at the Marquis Theatre, is in on the joke. It is a gleefully ham-fisted revival, complete with wonderfully literal sets—a pimp named Spider (David Benoit) has decorated his whorehouse like a web—while Jekyll’s (Constantine Maroulis) cursive scroll is superimposed behind the actors, gravely contemplating the “primitive duality of man” and the nature of evil, akin to the narrator’s contemplative lines in The Rocky Horror Picture Show."
