Jekyll & Hyde done weirdly

It could, but it surely would be easier on the actor. I've always hated the 'confrontation' where the actor has to suddenly change back and forth between characters, it always sounds stupid live, whereas on some of the CD's it is clearly recorded seperately, even with some overlapping at times. I'd always imagined (atleast i this part, if it is played by the same person) that the Hyde parts are pre-recorded and the scene is set on the street infront a shop window and he is argueing with his 'reflection' which would be a 'double' behind the glass, that way you would get the effect you do in movies where the reflection suddenly starts to move and act differently to the person the reflection belongs to.

The original production at the Alley Theatre used two actors for the Confrontation. Chuck Wagner played Jekyll and Dave Clemmons played Hyde through the mirror. The lighting helped mask his appearance. In the subsequent tryouts, Hyde was a pre-recorded video projected onto the mirror, which was a stunning effect. It wasn't until the Broadway production that a single actor was used for the Confrontation.

nothing beats single person playing the roles.. The two Roberts who created together on tour (Cuccioli and Evans) were awesome and personally i cant see the role by two actors. While on tour and on Braodway were done totally different, it would be hard to imagine the confrontation scene done any other way

I remember laughing out loud at the confrontation. Couldn't help it. I had to stop watching it. GAWD awkward.
