![]() Recap and reviews korean drama Hyde, Jekyll, Me: Episode 5 - If only each prickly romantic hero had to force him out of his comfort zone a mischievous alter ego. He jumps down and introduces himself, Seo-jin sitting there to him excruciating while being tightened. No wonder, having finally made it to Broadway in the spring of 1997, it quickly settled in to a long run. ![]() The problem is that the show has few of the theaters common pretensions it doesnt claim to be much more than an entertaining freak show with some catchy songs. The songs work in theatrical terms, especially when Robert Cuccioli is conducting duets with himself, switching octaves wildly as he turns from Jekyll to Hyde. Rather, the work is undeniably theatrical, and not only because This Is the Moment (which Jekyll sings before turning into Hyde) competes with Queen s We Are the Champions as a sports anthem these days. Theater buffs have derided the music as pop, and the director even offers a defensive sleeve note to that effect, but thats not really the problem. It seems necessary to cite all these influences so prominently because Jekyll Hyde is so much a secondhand effort, not to mention second-rate.
