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!

Here's a link to my review:

He should open his shows open on April Fools day and the critics can join in on the fun by all giving raves.

Who do we blame for this mess?

Tomorrow is 420. National day of celebration for all stoners. Perfect time for this show. IT IS THE ONLY WAY TO SEE IT.

Well, CPD, it seems to me that the bitter theatre queens and vindictive critics are to blame here.

Ah, yes Kad.
We are so powerful.

It'll coincide with the announcement of Smash's third season.

Saw the 2pm show today. Constantine, Teal and Deborah were amazing! "Rock opera" is the best way to describe this show. Did not leave disappointed.

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.

"My **** is better than yours."

No ***** is strong enough to make the show any good.

I loved this show. No joke.

“ '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."
