AGONY
OK so I just need to really let this out.
I rented Jekyll and Hyde the musical on DVD. Back in HS I was forced to listen to the soundtrach when I worked at the dinner theatre thanks to one of the people there who was obsessed with it. OK this show made Linda Eder a star and she has an amazing voice. Great songs in the show are "Someone Like You" and "This is the Moment" that seemed to gain popular attention outside of the theatre world.
This version they taped was from the probably final Broadway cast of the show. It stared David Hasselhoff as Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. At first I was willing to overlook this, I'm like oh I enjoy the music, I want to see the story.
HOLY SHIT IS HASSELHOFF HORRIBLE. Like it's to the point where it is ridiculous. I can't believe they let him STAR in a broadway musical. Watching him act is fairly comical. Hearing him sing is painful. He murders the song This is the Moment, the most powerful number in the opening act. It is a very very weak rendition. His acting is comical when you have to watch him transform in this scene to Hyde as he flops around on the stage like a herring. I fast forwarded through most of his parts cause I couldn't bear to watch it. I just watched the end where he does his Confrontation song that he sings as both Jekyll and Hyde (it's kinda like a Smeagol/Gollum scene where they debate taking the ring). AHHHHH I just want to break the DVD, no one should have to put up with this. I have seen some bad shows in my time, but they were at crappy community theatres or student productions at college. OK this is BROADWAY. How do you take such a risk and then knowing that he SUCKS, bear to capture his SUCKINESS forever in film.
I'm glad that the soundtrack I have sounds good.
All the guys in the cast of A Chorus Line (the show I'm doing at Tech right now) can sing better than Hasselhoff and some of them are slightly tone-deaf.
HAHAHA, they just showed the audience during the curtain call, there are a lot of empty seats. HAHAHA
