You have one man to thank for this. THE HOFF had the foresight to dig into his own pocket and have this performance taped. It might have been for his own vanity, but he caught some PURE MAGIC in the process. I can't diss him for that.
I detest his performance, but, this was an otherwise STELLAR cast! The performances by the professional cast were remarkable to say the least. I fell in love with Coleen playing Lucy. Her acting and vocals were pure magic! This duet is pure gold! So, I will thank David for getting this recorded. I bought the DVD when it came out because I had seen the stage show live and wanted it on DVD. So, like you, I won't diss him for that.
He was the worst person to ever play this part. I felt bad for everyone that had to be in the show with him He cannot sing, and he cannot act. He just wandered around over reacting and looking pitiful. The only thing I can think of that they did this for a joke.
@@deborahbelcastro8139 and he clearly had no idea he would be as outshined as he was. These two women may not become huge theater stars but they will easily work for the rest of their lives. What career does the Hoff have now?
@@deborahbelcastro8139 Fact is celebrities put butts in seats, even third-rate celebrities like Hoff, that's the reasoning behind casting like this. All about the almighty dollar. It must have been a similar disaster when they brought in Melanie Griffith for 'Chicago'.
@@deborahbelcastro8139 he’s really bad, but I would argue Sebastian Bach’s performance singing wise was worse. He was also stunt casted and preformed on Broadway from my knowledge
What I love about this rendition is that, while both women are singing their faces off, they both really seem to understand what they are singing about and aren't just thinking "do I sound pretty?" Well done ladies.
Agree, similar with I Still Believe in Miss Saigon (Andrea also played Ellen), the people who sing that song need to understand the song so what’s already heart breaking becomes even more so
I listen to this ALL THE TIME. I use it as an example of what music theater is really about. There is so much talent and years of hard work displayed in this one video. The score and voice of Andrea Rivette are gorgeous!!!
Everytime I watch this a cry a little bit inside. This is the most beautiful song I have ever heard and these two girls are the most beautiful performers ever omg I'm gonna go cry okay bye
This is my third favorite Jekyll & Hyde song! My first and second (can't decide!) is either A New Life or Someone Like You because I am obsessed with both of them! I also loved Colleen Sexton here she is absolutely phenomenal!
Fabulous, simply fabulous. Andrea and Coleen are both PERFECT for these roles. This is my favorite rendition of this song. Coleen has such an amazing, unique, voice for Lucy and I absolutely adore it. Andrea hits those high notes so effortlessly. It's beautiful, I love her as Emma. Both of these extremely talented women blow me away. I love this song so much! :)
All verklempt over here.... goosebumps..... Just like the very first time I heard Andrea Rivette sing. We were doing a production at the Lake Worth Playhouse in Lake Worth, Florida. I heard that voice in the chorus and said "You need to go to New York". "That's what my Daddy says" Andrea replied. "Pay attention to your father" I said. She did and what a wonnnnnderful thing.
Emma is singing the high note in head voice which makes it much easier to sing the note. Lucy sings the lower note in chest voice which makes it harder but usually louder.
@@lucykannon3071 everybody thinks head voice is harder. God's sake, there isn't a difficulty to sing with head voice. They are watching TV shows and then these wrong infos are coming...
@@lucykannon3071 Emma is singing the F5 in mixed voice, but switches to head at the end. You can tell the difference between her chest and head voice in earlier notes
Call me old fashioned, but I was trained classically when I was in New York, and the original version Andrea and Colleen sings blows the newer versions out of the water.
me personally, Im only 16 but I enjoy Old classic broadway infinitely better than hamilton or more pop style musicals. idk what about it. Its just got so much more feeling in the music.
EMMA: I sit and watch the rain, And see my tears run down the windowpane... LUCY: I sit and watch the sky. And I can hear it breathe a sign... EMMA: I think of him, How we were... LUCY: And when I think of him, Then I remember... LUCY/EMMA: Remember... EMMA: In his eyes I can see Where my heart longs to be! LUCY: In his eyes I see a gentle glow, And that's where I'll be safe, I know! EMMA: Safe in his arms, close to his heart... LUCY: But I don't know quite where to start... EMMA: By looking in his eyes, Will I see beyond tomorrow? LUCY: By looking in his eyes, Will I see beyond the sorrow That I feel? EMMA: Will his eyes reveal to me Promises or lies? LUCY: But he can't conceal from me The love in his eyes! EMMA: I know their every look, His eyes! LUCY: They're like an open book, His eyes! LUCY/EMMA: But most of all the look That hypnotized me! EMMA: If I'm wise, I will walk away, And gladly... LUCY: But, sadly, I'm not wise, It's hard to talk away The mem'ries that you prize! EMMA: Love is worth forgiving for! LUCY: Now I realize - LUCY/EMMA: Everything worth living for Is there, in his eyes! EMMA: Love is worth forgiving for! Now I realize - LUCY: Now I realize - LUCY/EMMA: Everything worth living for Is there, in his eyes!
this was a phenomenal presentation of this song.. the two voices really compliment one another with the alternating between the two. the timbre, tone, & technique. i can watch this video a thousand times & my love only grows for it. i got so teary eyed at such a masterpiece. i would love to sing this song one day! brilliant. ^_^
Was fortunate enough to see these two perform back in February 2000 when I saw the show in NYC. Jack Wagner played Jekyll/Hyde and I was very impressed by his performance. My mother was in seventh heaven being a huge fan since Wagner's his early days playing Frisco on General Hospital. I only knew him from Melrose Place at the time. lol Anyways, Colleen & Andrea just blew me away with their performance of this song. These two hugely talented ladies will always be my fav Emma & Lucy.
Its beautiful. The performance are both riveting and tremendously soulful. This is one of few songs that I used to play over and over and over again just to hear the magnificence of the singing and the wistfulness of the tune. They're great examples for us to emulate in our own singing.

This song (the majority of it) is part of a medly we're playing in my band class... it's the most beautiful thing I've heard in a long time. Every time we get to a certain point, I just get chills.
I was listening through some music in a vocal book when I heard the first chord of this song and was hooked. I made my younger sister listen to it too, and now we're both addicted - this song's been stuck in our heads for weeks now, and showing no signs of losing its awesomeness. We're learning the duet and the harmonies - I generally choose Lucy, and my sister takes Emma. I hope someday we can do justice to this piece. :) Truly so lovely - I can't believe I didn't find this sooner!
i love this song :') me and my friend did it at school, and then covered it on afterwards on here :) these 2 are amazing - i wanna be even half as good as them one day!! ;)
I keep watching this on repeat. It's a masterclass! Just a brilliant performance. I have seen a few videos of Andrea where she can sound a tad nasaly or pitchy (still amazing though always!) but in this she is just absolute perfection! The way she can effortlessly push those top notes (2:38, 3:44) out in mixed voice, just wow! You can barely even see her breathe yet the power and control, wow. Coleen is superb too, I do love her voice and the vulnerability she brings to her characters. She was a tiny bit pinched (2:42) on the top note in this recording but it worked! But personally in the show I do like Lucy to have a deeper tone with massive belt (like lindas voice) just to contrast with a lighter more classical soprano Emma. In this video both ladies sing with a lovely mezzo sound and whilst it makes this rendition gorgeous to listen to as a stand alone (their voices just blend like butter) for the characterisation in the overall story a bit more contrast works well. Fits with theme of duality. I have seen some renditions of this where the two ladies appear to be competing both vocally and dramatically and glad to say this isn't the case here. They know they don't have to compete vocally- they are both amazing. As for dramatics, Andrea really nails it, Emma isn't supposed to be dramatic and overwrought. She represents the controlled, demure, dignified front of Victorian era. Her conflict here isn't the same as Lucy's. Emma has led a nice life, had a loving secure family and has good prospects: her conflict is whether she should allow herself to be vulnerable, take the risk on her love match, knowing it could make her charmed life a little less so, due to his apparent eccentricities. Its a basic heart versus head choice she knows she needs to make but ultimately both outcomes could be good. There is no need for her to act over wrought. Lucy on the other hand is extremely vulnerable already. She's experienced significant trauma and loss. Her conflict is allowing herself to hope that her life could be different even though deep down she knows that won't happen. She's been let down so much already. It's a much more emotional narrative. Coleen is masterful in conveying this without it appearing melodramatic. I'm waffling on here. Bottom line this is amazing, huge well done to both inspirational performers.
@singerAR0406 I just assumed it was because of the ample use of straight tone with American vowels, which is okay given what's expected in contemporary musical theatre, but it is noticeable. I did love how you backed off near the end of the last note without losing power; that was beautiful. :)
I sit and watch the rain And see my tears run down the window pane I sit and watch the sky And I can hear it breathe a sigh I think of him, how we were And when I think of him Then I remember, remember In his eyes I can see Where my heart longs to be In his eyes I see a gentle glow And that's where I'll be safe, I know Safe in his arms, close to his heart But I don't know quite where to start Will I see beyond tomorrow?

But he can't conceal from me The love in his eyes (His eyes) I know their every look (His eyes) They're like an open book (His eyes) But most of all the look that hypnotizes If I'm wise I will walk away, and gladly But sadly I'm not wise It's hard to tuck away the memories that you prize. Love is worth forgiving for Now I realize Everything worth living for is there in his eyes. Love is worth forgiving for Now I realize Everything worth living for Is there in his eyes.
My drama group is performing Jekyll and Hyde. Opening night tonight. wish us luck :) Louise and Steph play Emma and Lucy and they are AMAZING!! one of the best shows ever performed by Tredegar Operatic Society!! XD Can't wait!!!
One of my fave shows, seen it twice. Cant understand why it got the spanking it did from the critics but they were proved wrong. Audiances LOVE this show.

MAGNIFICENT! "In His Eyes" and "This Is The Moment" are show stoppers. Had the privilege of seeing this on Broadway, and wish they would bring it back for my grandkids to see. They love the theatre. In his eyes is perfect for you Madison, and Cole should learn "This Is The Moment!
Very beautiful enunciation and purity of tone coming from both singers! The vocal lines in this song are so difficult to get right (compared to the original Broadway cast), and these ladies did an outstanding job.

My favorite part is the part where it says "If I'm wise than I would walk away and gladly, but sadly I'm not wise." So true its so sad.
Me too
Men duet: “Lily’s Eyes”
Women duet: “In His Eyes”
Man, eyes are quite the powerful duet tool haha
Thank you Frank Wildhorn and Lucy Simon
I wish more people sang this duet style on singing app Smule

Xoxo
Coleen's performance conveys such an incredible amount of emotion, it's one I seriously can't stop watching no matter how many times I've seen this.
What a beautiful song sung by two lovely ladies. Wish they would bring back Jekyll and Hyde in theatres again.
Everytime I watch this a cry a little bit inside. This is the most beautiful song I have ever heard and these two girls are the most beautiful performers ever omg I'm gonna go cry okay bye

jeeeesus they're so beautiful and incredibly talented.
I've never been so drawn to a song before in my life.
The sheer power and expression in that Lucy belt at 2:52 sends shivers. Came back after performing this 10 years ago just for that moment. Chills.
this was a phenomenal presentation of this song.. the two voices really compliment one another with the alternating between the two. the timbre, tone, & technique. i can watch this video a thousand times & my love only grows for it. i got so teary eyed at such a masterpiece. i would love to sing this song one day! brilliant. ^_^
This is one of the powerful and delicately balanced portrayals of this song I've ever heard. Brava!
I saw this pair do this as a duet musical at states for thespians and they got bet in show it was amazing
This performance is incredible! I became a fan of Coleen Sexton from this song.
I love Coleen Sexton so much. They're both fantastic.
This is my favorite performance of this song--especially Rivette. Fantastic voice, fantastic acting.
The blend of these two voices is so spectacular. I could listen to this version for hours.
This makes me cry every time I listen to it; reminds me of why I love my boyfriend so very much, and that he'll always love me.

As far as female duets go this definitely up there with I Still Believe from Miss Saigon
Wow! I agree 100% ... I got to sing both!!
Singing this for the homecoming assembly tomorrow. My school is gonna LUV me omg
Hey, did they like it?
This is my favorite song out of this production!
I always sing the soprano 1 part.
I love them so much they have amazing chemistry!
Anything with Lucy is my favorite part- but the overlapping His Eyes 🥹
So beautiful

Amazing！！
i love this song :') me and my friend did it at school, and then covered it on afterwards on here :) these 2 are amazing - i wanna be even half as good as them one day!! ;)

Both of these women! Ugh! I can't even.
oh my gosh is stunning. their voices are so beautiful! thanks for posting.
I'd kill for either of their voices, they are both so amazing!
They steal the entire show with this song. Coleen Sexton has an INCREDIBLE voice!
This is so beautiful! I almost can't believe this exists! How lucky I am to have seen this.
beautiful girls and beautiful talent
beyond fablous. snatched my wig
i knoooow!!! it sounds so effortless!!! it's just amazing!
Best song. Best performance. Lucys voice is just so beaitiful i often get emotional listening to her sing. Lord i love her
I sit and watch the rain
And see my tears run down the window pane
I sit and watch the sky
And I can hear it breathe a sigh
I think of him, how we were
And when I think of him
Then I remember, remember
In his eyes I can see
Where my heart longs to be
In his eyes I see a gentle glow
And that's where I'll be safe, I know
Safe in his arms, close to his heart
But I don't know quite where to start
Will I see beyond tomorrow?
Will I see beyond the sorrow, that I feel?
Will his eyes reveal to me promses or lies?
But he can't conceal from me
The love in his eyes
(His eyes) I know their every look
(His eyes) They're like an open book
(His eyes) But most of all the look that hypnotizes
If I'm wise I will walk away, and gladly
But sadly I'm not wise
It's hard to tuck away the memories that you prize.
Love is worth forgiving for
Now I realize
Everything worth living for is there in his eyes.
Love is worth forgiving for

Everything worth living for
Is there in his eyes.
I love how they sing this. Many videos in here show a bunch o' girls squeezing their voices. They can do it so naturally and sooo belted =P
i would sincerely love to play either of these roles
This song is just simply beautiful
Great duet! So powerful!
My drama group is performing Jekyll and Hyde. Opening night tonight. wish us luck :) Louise and Steph play Emma and Lucy and they are AMAZING!! one of the best shows ever performed by Tredegar Operatic Society!! XD Can't wait!!!
omigod...this song is so gorgeous
Beautiful Song. Beautiful Show. Beautiful Performance.
This is incredible
One of my fave shows, seen it twice. Cant understand why it got the spanking it did from the critics but they were proved wrong. Audiances LOVE this show.
i can't belieeeve how perfect this is :(
simply beautiful!!! just as on the cd...
Why people go out of their way dislike something like this? I would give ANYTHING to have seen this live!!!
it doesn't get much better than that!
unbelievably amazing
Andrea Rivette came to our school for a Revue and was fantastic! :D I love love love her.
I love this song I sing it all the time
definitely the most amazing song ever!
Stun....ning...
This is such a beautiful, powerful song.
This is my favourite rendition of this duet. Most singers make Emma’s part too belty these days but Andrea’s mix is so light but powerful!

MAGNIFICENT! "In His Eyes" and "This Is The Moment" are show stoppers. Had the privilege of seeing this on Broadway, and wish they would bring it back for my grandkids to see. They love the theatre. In his eyes is perfect for you Madison, and Cole should learn "This Is The Moment!
i love these girls, they sing very well!!
I love this song! It´s absolutely amazing! Both singers are amazing!
wow that was absolutely stunning
Beautiful
Very beautiful enunciation and purity of tone coming from both singers! The vocal lines in this song are so difficult to get right (compared to the original Broadway cast), and these ladies did an outstanding job.
Coleen is perfection.
OMG! That was BRILLIANT!!!!
im doin this in my vocal coaching
im singing lucy's part
i had no idea it was so hard
they are AMAZING
its beautiful
