Review:

Image from: Jekyll & Hyde: The Musical (2001)

I had the pleasure of seeing Robert Cuccioli in the original Broadway production of "Jekyll and Hyde." It was a thrilling and dynamic performance of great caliber, and it contributed to making the show a sizeable hit. However, soon after his departure the producers kept on plugging various has-been stars into the role. One was Jack Wagner, who I also saw, who was terrible, but far worse was David Hasseloff, whose amateurish performance is forever recorded on this video for his embarrassment. He's so bad in so many ways, he almost manages to turn this musical thriller into a musical comedy.

Those who are fans of the show itself might enjoy having the recording for sentimental purposes, but I imagine anyone who has good taste in theater will be quite disappointed by the lead performance.
