BEST MUSICAL/WORST ACTOR, 3 August 2002
Author: gavynhelfyre from United States

I've seen this musical 11 times so far (which by the standards of this shows fans isn't much) I've seen every man to play Jekyll on Broadway and the national tours. So, I think it goes without saying that I know a little something about this show and the quality of the performance I should expect from it.

First let me say that Hasselhoffs performance is not as bad as it could be (no he saved that for the shows final performance on Broadway), but it is darn close. Having seen the other actors to play the role, I can only assume that Hasselhoff either didn't read the script, didn't care, or is an even more wretched actor than his stint on Baywatch would allude to.

Don't misunderstand me. This production which is captured here does have several things working for it (namely Hasselhoffs lovely costars Andrea Rivette and Coleen Sexton), and you are still seeing a few members of the original cast (Barrie Ingham and George Merritt). Both of which make it wholely worth your time to view if you keep the remote control handy to fast forward through Hasselhoffs songs.

If you have no other option, watch this Video/DVD to get at least some sense of what may be the best musical of the past decade, but look past Hasselhoff. If you really want to get a sense for the show though, find a local production and see it live with at least a semi-compitent actor. If you do the latter, I guarantee that you'll fall in love with the show. If you do the former, well, just try your best to get past Hasselhoff.
