The script on HYDE is all that I don't like. I think 99% of the cover is great. I'm so excited to get my signed copy in the mail and to see the show in October when they come to Houston!
^ You can see a bit of the costumes at the first curtain call, no set pics officially released just yet. Cox's Lucy outfit looks a bit like Eder's from the first national tour.
>>>>>>>>Just what the world needs: another Jekyll & Hyde concept album. Since I've never heard one or ever seen J&H I am thrilled to have this one. &I'm so excited to get it before I see the show. Plus anything with Constantine's voice on it is a good thing.
I wasn't expecting much for the cover, but really? The goal is to sell them at the merch booth on tour, right? You'd think they'd at least use the same logo. Maybe it cost more money to pay the guy who designed the art for the tour to use it on the CD cover?
The orchestrations are really weird. I wish they included "Murder" since it's probably the most heavily rewritten number in the show.

Yeah, I think actually prefer the show orchestrations to these. I do like "Confrontation" though.

Just saw the show last night. I'll be brief with my thoughts. Teal Wicks is perfection. Constantine sounds really good, but his British accent is very Daniel Radcliffe. Deborah Cox sounded really good, but I think she riffed just a little too much. The set was fine, but I really hope they flesh them out, as well as the orchestrations, when it reaches New York. I thought some of the projections were just a tad out of place, but I thought that some of them worked well The staging for "Murder, Murder" and the Confrontation were done very well, I thought. Overall, a good evening at the theatre, but they need to flesh out the set/orchestra before they reach Broadway.
