My one hope for this production is that they work a few songs from the concept album back into the show. "I Need to Know" "Bit**, Bit**, Bit**", "The Engagement Party", "Bring on the Men", "No One Knows Who I Am" and "The Girls of the Night" are all favorites of mine and I hope they are included. Hopefully it will be reminiscent of what we should have seen on Broadway.

I'm really interested to see how this production does.. I still haven't recovered from Paul Nicholas's Tevye in Fiddler on the Roof. It was disturbing, he kept smiling all the time and camping it up to the audience like some kind of one-man show.

Will this one be sung-through? Or with boring spoken dialogue?

I saw Paul Nicholas in JCSS many years ago in London. He was quite good as Jesus.

I can't wait to see the British reaction to this piece of garbage. Robert Lewis Stevenson was a Scot and I'm sure the British are more familiar with the actual JEKYLL AND HYDE novella than Americans are. When they see how the story is chopped and mangled to suit the purposes of this production they may become outraged.
