I saw the production on Broadway and was just wondering who was gonna carry it to London...yes i am aware its not gonna be the same people cause that usually does not happen... though it would be cool if Linda at least reprised her role sometime or did a Jekyll and Hyde in concert or something like that....thanks!!

Linda needs to be on broadway right now with Camille!
But if she must go to London for Jekyll-- I guess then Lee would have a hosueguest. Right Lee?

Hi! Jon~ Nice thought, but I beleive CC is taking a back seat for an indefinate time.
Who knows, there might be a place for Mrs. Wildhorn in Frank's "new" touring production of "Jekyll & Hyde" in Concert. Just speculations, mind you. Linda is already scheduled to appear at Lenape for her third season at Lenape. This show will premiere in Marlton, NJ in June at the Lenape PAC. It will consist of a 30 piece orchestra and include many additional songs from the original score that were not part of the staged productions.

While I'm not connected to the show in any way, I have been in touch with some who are to set things up to cover and set up interviews.

So far, they have cast Robert Evan who sang the hell out of that role on Broadway. I am thrilled that he was invited. They have NOT anounced the ladies yet ( Emma & Lucy). But I was told who they are negotiating with. It's not my place to say, though.

Depending on the cast, this could be an interesting concept. After all, even those who mocked J&H the stage production rarely had negative things to say about the music from the Concept CD with Warlow/Carmello/Eder.

I'm looking forward to see what they do with this and with whom.
