I think it would be clever to cast identical twins as Jekyll and Hyde so when Confrontation rolls around, there can be an actual acted scene between Jekyll and Hyde instead of switching back and forth and when Hyde's actor says "Can't you see!? You ARE me!", Hyde's separate actor disappears and Jekyll's actor does the back and forth thing for the finale
Ageeed!!!!!
Or they could have have one actor play dr. Jekyll and another actor play Mr. Hyde - remember, in the original novel Jekyll and Hyde have different appearances. The scene would take place in a room where Henry Jekyll is standing in front of a full-length mirror. As the song begins, Jekyll is in the room alone, but then we suddenly hear Hyde's voice and we would see the actor playing Hyde appear in the mirror's frame. At the "This one is the Nightmare that goes on" the actor steps through the mirror's frame and continues to argue/sing with Jekyll (like a classic visual interaction between a real person and a ghostly manifestation.) Then, after "..they'll never be able to separate Jekyll from Hyde!" the theatre lights would go dark and the two actors playing Jekyll and Hyde would be casted in two different colored lights (Blue for Jekyll and Red for Hyde) which would switch from one to the other as a representation of the conflict between the two opposing forces.
@@lucasclement9368 Wasn't it in the original novel that they _don't_ have different appearances, and rather Hyde just has a literal aura of ugliness and cruelty that makes people view him differently?
@@SissypheanCatboy Hyde is literally smaller than Jekyll in the novel, he's meant to be younger too, other things about his physique are vague.
As an identical twin I read your wishes and for once agree, this is the perfect role for a twin couple. Most other times twins are abused in media to say the same things at the same time. I hate that, it is so cringy and frankly insulting to watch.
The light crew is incredible
Light crew amazing, singing is too soft and cry-like
@@mothmanparanoid yea. First note is sharp? He got the lead?
i love how jekyll sings faster, showing how scared he is
i´m accustomed with the performance being more like... feral. but this is brilliant too.
I wouldn’t say or relate to it being faster as being “scared”. You can do that without a faster tempo. It’s too fast and he’s struggling to keep the phrases going where it feels like it’s rushing. Just don’t like this tempo at all. This song doesn’t benefit from it
I love how pathetic Jekyll is in this version, I feel it really fits with the vibe of this song
Also the slight noise of pain he makes every time he switches characters really shows that this is a fight, and that the noise getting less noticable as the song goes on shows that Hyde and Jekyll are becoming one. I just really like how he shows that Jekyll is in pain, the other versions don't seem to do this
Do you notice that Hyde and Jekyll 's voices begin to blend into each other near to the end of the song? It shows that Jekyll and Hyde are becoming one and the same person . The voice of Hyde gets stronger as the song goes along, which is meant to symbolise that Hyde is winning the battle. There's a line which goes "I am pure, YOU are Hyde!. This is meant to represent that Hyde is the true nature of mankind. It also represents Jekyll being the facade that the world wants to see. In the end, there were never two people. There were two sides of the same person.
I like to imagine the potion did nothing but because jekyll belived it did what he wanted it acted like a placebo. He belived it suppressed his good side so he can act upon his sinful desires when in reality it's just him dropping his facade and being who he truly is under it all. Jekyll in inhibition while Hyde is desire.
I think in the book, he actually kills before he becomes Hyde. He kills a little girl. I believe that the formula was a placebo that he used as an excuse to hide his murderous side. He had his demons and in the end they consumed him.
A level English students UNITE!
I think he’s just getting fatigued
Martin Luther had a theological term for this duality within human nature: “Simul Justus et Peccator.” Very loosely translated, it means “at the same time, both saint and sinner.” I believe you are correct, there were never two people, only two conflicting natures within the same person- -saint and sinner (good and evil). With the predominance of the song “Facade” throughout the score (the song, reprise, and bits within orchestration), one sees that Jekyll has his own facade as well. In “Confrontation,” the facade is ripped off to reveal the two battling natures of one man. Excellent insight, Ernest and others!
I love the choking sound he makes when he switches. It really does feel like he’s switching. I also love how Jekyll stands like an Angel somewhat.
I respectfully disagree. I think the choking sound distracts and takes away from the song. You don't Robert Cuccioli or Anthony Warlow doing that choking thing.
I was reading this when it happened and it scared me a bit, lol.
1:33 that "ugh" killed me xD
THE LIGHTING!!! THE CONSTANT SWITCHING!!! This is a very difficult song to pull off, and Gregorio does it so well again! I love how here, compared to the previous version, it's clearer when Jekyll actually ended it all (especially since I assume the wedding scene doesn't happen in this version)
Caitlin Tan Nope I wish it did though. I have seen bits and pieces of that particular scene. It looks really cool.
Michelle Muir I like the original wedding scene, too, though I think that'll be too morbid, considering this audience demographic. This production's take would be the best approach in avoiding showing him stabbing himself in front of an entire wedding crowd. That would be rather traumatizing. If this were a college production, it would be a little easier for them to explore those darker, more violent themes
Caitlin Tan Your right of course. This is a high school production so they have to take into consideration their audience and how receptive they are. They also have to consider that the graphics of that scene would traumatize people. I understand why that would be saved for a college or professional version of the show!
That poor guy's back
LMAO
For carrying the show or for the hunched position?
@@andehuimatadamas5643both
It takes serious talent to switch between such different characters while singing so quickly, but this guy pulls it off so well.
Disagree, he did it but it doesn’t benefit the song or himself singing it. The phrases are to rushed and loses meaning more with him flying them.
2:52 Disappointed he said "Forever the name to remember's the name Edward Hyde!" and not "They'll never be able to separate Jekyll from Hyde!" like the OG
I don't care because it's good!
I think it's a lyric change for productions other than broadway, like with Heathers 101
Awww, Yah, that kinda disappointed me
You'll get over it :)
the first lyric is from alive
oh my god, The band! I don't think they're getting enough credit!!! they did such an amazing job with the instrumental. same with any sound crew there too! they must have put a lot of practice into it! amazing job!
Although I thought he did a better job with Hyde last time, his Jekyll was on fire.
I agree
Definitely
Where can I see the previous one you’re mentioning?
@@nora6731 ua-cam.com/video/aZthqiTOvd8/v-deo.html
The last time he did Hyde was definitely better. I wonder what happened? Might’ve been fatigued already or something happened to his voice or maybe it was the musical direction he was told to go but this Hyde while sinister sounding was more “Jekyll” sounding instead of more of a clear timbre difference
Chills last time. Even more chills now.
YALL GREGORIO IS BACK TO WORK ...MISSION ABORT WE ARE BLESSED ONCE MORE
OMG!! He did again!!! Gregorio is absolutely amazing as Jekyll/Hyde!!! Totally recommend this play to people!!! This song just gives me absolute chills every time he transitions into Hyde!
I believe they should cast twins to play Jekyll and Hyde so the actor isn't winded and gasping for air and one can focus on one role instead of needing to switch every time and accidentally mixing them up, same thing with David Hasslehoff's performance
Pretty sure in Hasslehoff performance there's at least two instanses where he mixes voices on purpose as his own artistic choice. But it's objective opinion. But you don't even need twins there's some versions where two actors actually do an exagerated fight in this scene and it works. And I'm pretty sure they aren't twins.
This is the first time that I managed to see where Jekyll kills himself at the end. It is very subtle and so quick that it takes time for you to notice. You will have to watch the video until the very end over and over again to see where he does it.
I'm so, so proud of his growth!!! He was amazing in 2016, but he's clearly learned and grown so much since! what an amazing young man
Wait, it's the same guy that performed this in 2016??
We watched this in my theatre class, and let me just say that the whole class CHEERED when we saw the lighting in this
This is a college version especially written with students in mind. Most musicals do this. It was adapted by the composer of the musical, Frank Wildhorn.
The light switching giving me goosebumps. The one who got the idea is genius!
Wow you must have a whole lot of stamina to do it this way! Props to the singer, ad the lighting department! Well done!
This is the scene that I've been waiting for!
3:38 Hyde coming in with some serious Emperor Palpatine "do it" vibes!!
i can't even imagine how exhausting this is
Gregorio, you are my Jekyll & Hyde 💕❤️
I just lost my mind with that performance. 😱😍🙌🏽
How's gregorio umana not in tv?! Literally one of the best talents the world has to offer
The crew and the band oh my god they need more credit
Like chills on the transitions
Such a powerful performance, I love this.
WHAT A LIGHT
This is good but I really like the older version
Wow this staging is brilliant xxx and an incredible performance 👏 ❤❤
Gotta be the hardest role to land
He sounded demented as hyde
I’m so glad they did this again. Amazing job.
That was amazing !
This is amazing
AMAZING!!!!
YES, YES! love'n it!
Ok this was great, but also so funny.
Amazing, totaly amazing
Fuck YEAH I love Gregorio
Ok I have a question, what made you go with this ending and not the one where he goes to the wedding and Jekyll is convinced he finished Hyde but then at the last second Hyde comes out which is when Jekyll kills himself
I think that the reason is that this is the high school version of the show and not the Broadway version. This happens a lot with most musicals.
This is like my 100th time watching this and everytime it always gets better and better
Loved this! Is there a full version? And can I get the actors name?
great acting
when I was little I always wanted to play Jekyll/Hyde but I keep forgetting how exhausting It could be-
Brilliant!
Love it good job
Yeaa🤩🤩
I love this
HIs articulation is really bad and needs to fix his vibrato and breath control and is kinda outa tune at places and is syncopating at some strange spots BUT he has a lot of talent so keep it going keep trying I believe in u! The lighting and orchestra is amazing as well like omg
He’s got a great voice, but he forgot half the words in his frenzy
i mean can you blame him it must be so daunting to sing such a hard song in front of a big audience
I KEEP THINKING HES BURPING WHEN HE SWITCHES BUT HES ACTUALLY CHOKING LMAOOO
so good!
Love this amazing actor
그림자 연출 개쩐다
I just tried and sing this song all i have to say I need a nap afterwards
So much better than hasslehof. This guy deserves Broadway and only a high school?? His potential for massive success is already fantastic and better than majority of performances I’ve ever seen with his singing and acting and his endurance
Is this guy even human?
Gregorio ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I prefer the 2001 that is on UA-cam
his hyde voice is the same as his jekyll voice
It isn't
变身怪医的入坑曲～
Am I imagining it, or does Hyde sound like Gollum?
Bring back the Hoff.
If it works don't fix it. Former lighting design was perfect.
Too fast ngl
Dang he didn't even know the lyrics fucked up several times
Holy crap why are you singing you so fast why are you singing so fast calm down!!
😐
