    Hey guys. It’s Rob Evan. It’s so wild to see this (and your comments) after 27 years. You know you have to have a solid ego and definitely a sense of humor in this business. So many points of view and all honestly valid. That’s what’s so incredible about the whole experience right? It’s so personal to each of us. Jesus I was young! So so grateful for the experience and the many fans that gave me so much during my run as J&H. I’m so glad this is here for my kids and hopefully their children in the future. We shot this during a normal week of performances when I came back to the show to be David’s matinee Jekyll. It’s a grueling role and needs an alternate as I was for Bob and Joe was for me. It’s rough on any day. The feedback from the many Jekyll’s who have followed was overwhelming as they had this as a blueprint to learn the show and make it their own. So cool. And btw, David H was LOVELY to me and gave me so much credit for helping him learn the role and making it his own. The courage to be on Broadway and face criticism should never be put down. If you do, I challenge you to play the role and post it on line. Good luck with that part… 😂 It’s CRAZY business and believe you me, you could never say or write anything worse than the agony we put ourselves through to walk out in front of all of you. So glad for your views. So grateful to be a part of this. FREEEEEEEE!!!! 😎 RE

      I absolutely loved your performance in Jekyll & Hyde. I still remember how we watched this very video in my high school English class. It was the first musical I ever saw, and it really sparked my love for the theater. It's incredible to hear your perspective after all these years! Thank you for being a part of such a memorable experience.

I’m not as big of a fan of Jekyll and Hyde as my roommate but I know he loves your version, it’s likely his favorite! I’m sure all the other comments of how great you are make this comment seem like nothing, but know that we both watch your performance over and over and over again. INCREDIBLE JOB!!!

    While I do appreciate the original novella's depiction of the Jekyll/Hyde relationship more than the modern pop-culture incarnations (1 man in 2 human bodies over 1 man in 1 human body with the monster being out of a bottle only), I also like this version, as it presents 2 men in 1 body, and one of the men using shadows and hair as a disguise. I just find it fascinating.

    • @e.j.leonard2379
      @e.j.leonard2379 4 года назад +18

      The novella clearly describes Hyde as being small and deformed when he first appears and growing bigger and stronger, while Jeckle's own form diminishes. It's one body but it changes when the personality does, and the dominant personality grows more dominant in form over time (and vice versa) too.

    • @e.j.leonard2379
      @e.j.leonard2379 4 года назад +18

      Although, I also want to add that Jeckle never refers to Hyde as a separate person but describes him as the person he becomes. He doesn't blame Hyde for the crimes, or treat his as being separate from himself in anyway, but really refers to taking on the Hyde persona as something he, Jeckle himself, is addicted to.

    • @Predated2
      @Predated2 4 года назад +31

      Personally, I think Hasselfhoff has been the best so far to split Jekyll and Hyde as people. Most people playing Jekyll, end up playing Hyde as a mean Jekyll, but Hyde is not just mean Jekyll, Hyde is his own person. You're not taking a good and evil side of 1 person, you're literally playing 2 people. Hasselhoff has been the only person I've seen do that properly, so far. I mean, obviously we dont know how many amateur groups have a good actor covering both jekyll and hyde, but professional perfomances only, I havent seen anyone completely seperating them to the point where the only thing they share is a body.
      That doesnt make up for the fact that Hasselhoff is far from properly hitting notes, that his acting in general is quite stale and boring and was the worst performer on stage, which is bad considering he was supposed to be the lead performer. It was his passion project, and I can understand him wanting to do jekyll and hyde as its literally extremely difficult to gather people who willingly will play a character that is 10 minutes on stage, then gets killed off and doesnt reappear untill the end.

    My absolute favorite thing in this recording is a small one but it's in the scene where John finds out who Hyde actually is. The first shot of Hyde in this scene is when he's asleep, but the way Rob Evans positions himself it shows the underside of his nose, making his face look skeleton-like. It's a simple thing but shows how different Hyde can look compared to Jekyll when transformed. I don't know if Rob did this on purpose, but it's awesome nonetheless.

    I agree with you. This is the version that should have made it to DVD. An actual singer, an actual Broadway performer as J&H. "The Hoff" was... not. I guess it could have been worse... Like Russell Crowe as Javert. That made me cry... for all of the wrong reasons.

    • @Kyubi095
      @Kyubi095 8 лет назад +12

      How can you even compare these two?
      Russel Crowe's acting is much much better and even though he didn't go opera voice with Javert at least he could sing.
      I liked his singing. Kinda confused how some people thought his singing was horrible?

      +Kyubi095 i love Russell Crowe in general hes an amazing actor. his acting wasn't the best in les mis but not horrible he had some great parts one that stands out is after all the young boys make their stand and are killed that he walks past them lined up and stops at the young little boy sorry u forget his name at the moment and had tears in his eyes and put a metal on his chest. It gave javert a soul not just a mean jerk running around after Valjean. His singing though was off key, had no range or power. I'd actually take his performance over Hoff.. Hoff was just so goofy in his acting that Hyde was funny and not dark or intimidating and his Jekyll was kinda rude and gave an entitled big attitude even to his close friends. He just didn't know how to portray the characters at all in his acting or with his singing, vibrato was like he inhaled helium, just awful.

    I've only ever known the David Hasselhoff version. I loved David's version. I thought he did a great job despite not being a stage actor. And it took a lot of courage to step into a very difficult role. Mad respect for him. Always grateful because he helped produce it. Rob's version is also great. His transitions between Jekyll and Hyde were amazing. He made different character choices which were fascinating to watch. As an actor myself, it was very interesting to have the same cast except the lead actor and watch their different choices. Certain moments hit differently. I just wish I saw this earlier.

    This has by far one of the best “confrontation” performances that I have ever seen. It was perfect. Far superior to the Hoff’s pitiful performance. This should have been the version that was put on DVD. I hate when they shoehorn in subpar “celebrities” into roles that they can not do. It is the downfall of many musicals.

What's also funny is that the same people that asked who he is are the same ones that mocked and humiliated, him as Dr. Henry Jekyll.

      are the reason why he goes after them one by one as Edward Hyde. Hoff’s Hyde was good but I could not relate to his version of Hyde but I could relate to Rob’ s version of Hyde.What I also liked about Rob Evan’s version of Hyde is that you can see the anger and hatred he has for the scientists which he thought were fellow scientists that embarrassed him as Jekyll.

    When it comes to the music, singing, and the distinction between Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Rob Evan nails it all the way. His "Hyde" voice has a totally different personality of its own- something I haven't seen as sharply as other actors who played the role of Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde in this musical.
    But when it comes to acting during the different scenes as Mr. Hyde, David Hasselhoff kills it, much more so than Rob Evan. His acting is better and a lot less blunt than Rob Evan, but his singing voice and Hyde impression can't compare with Rob Evan.
    So it is a toss-up in performance to me. I like Hasselhoff's acting, but I like Rob Evan's singing performance and Hyde impression. :/

Rob Evans’ performance of Jekyll and Hyde is the absolute best performance I’ve ever seen with these two characters. Just the way Evans seamlessly switches back and forth between the two is pure talent. It’s so cool what just changing vocal tones and ranges, hair, facial expressions, and the carrying of one’s posture can do! I love theater so much! My favorite moment of that seamless transition is at the end with “Confrontation” which Evans performed perfectly. Thank you so much for uploading this incredible performance and making me fall in love with this story. So many great lines and funny moments. Chilling performance!
