Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

This handsome book includes 15 selections from the 1997 version of Jekyll & Hyde, the gothic-horror musical by Frank Wildhorn and Leslie Bricusse. Represented are such favorites as the anthem "This Is the Moment" and the female duet of love and longing, "In His Eyes." The book also has full-color photos, notes by Wildhorn and Bricusse, a synopsis, and biographies of the composer and lyricist. Now all you need is Linda Eder and Robert Cuccioli alongside your piano. --David Horiuchi

4.0 out of 5 stars Some good songs from a Great Musical, May 15, 2001

This review is from: Jekyll and Hyde The Musical - Vocal Selections (Sheet music)

Ever since I first heard the 1994 Concept Cast Recording of Jekyll and Hyde I have been after the Vocal Selections for this great musical. So I bought this one and was slightly disappointed. However I will deal with the positives first. This book of Vocal Selections provides a great range of songs for male and female voices. For those male singers looking to test their ranges This is the Moment is a perfect choice. And for those looking for great character songs there is Alive and Confrontation. For female voices the ballads Someone Like You and In His Eyes are provided which are two very beautiful songs given justice by the very good piano accompaniment. There are also two great duet pieces, Take Me as I Am and It's a Dangerous Game. There are also some great photos from the Broadway production along with information from the Lyricist and Composer.

However I do have a few problems with this book. A few of the great songs from the Concept Album are not in this. The first major exclusion is the incredibly difficult sing, I Need to Know. The second is Transformation. The last problem is that some of the notes have been changed to make some of the songs easier. For example the last note of Alive! is no longer an incredible high "A" but an "E" Though the positives do indeed outweigh the negatives. There is a wide selection of songs (refer to song list) all equipped with great piano accompaniment.

Song List = Lost In the Darkness. Take Me as I Am. No One Knows Who I Am. Good and Evil. This Is The Moment. Alive! Sympathy, Tenderness. Someone Like You. Murder, Murder! Once Upon A Dream. In His Eyes. It's A Dangerous Game. A New Life. Confrontation

3.0 out of 5 stars Alive! Reprise is missing, May 21, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Jekyll and Hyde The Musical - Vocal Selections (Sheet music)

I bought this book, expecting to see both parts of "Alive!" in it. For those of you who have the Concept Cast recording, it's the second half of the song, for those with the Broadway cast, it's a few tracks later. In any case, the reprise is much more dramatic, difficult, and impressive, and some of the music is different. Boo to Cherry Lane Music for dumbing this down.
