Jekyll & Hyde: The Musical - Original Cast (CD 1997)

I first heard the music from Jekyll and Hyde on an internet radio (I was listening to showtunes). Every time a song from this show was played, I kept checking to see which show it was and I soon noticed that the songs were from this musical. I liked the few songs that I heard and I liked them enough to buy the CD. I know it is always a gamble to buy a CD based on only a couple of songs, but this investment was more than well worth it.

The music is beautiful and tells the story in a way I've never heard. If you have not seen the show, it helps to read the information in the cover of the CD as it will give the songs more meaning. The songs are both powerful and meaningful and the singing, of course, is full of emotion. I have not seen the musical but have only heard the music from the CD. The CD was so good that I was pulled in by the music alone. Just hearing the music has made me want to see the musical. If the musical is half as good as the music it will be spectacular!

If you like music that gets inside you and moves you, then I highly suggest Jekyll and Hyde. Although I say that it is good to listen to at work, it's really good to listen to anytime when you can listen and really appreciate it. The first time I listened to it was at home, but I listen to it at work too.
