That's the Highlights From Jeckyll and Hyde CD - I think it's only 8-10 songs. Anthony Warlow sings on the full version from 1994. That version also has Linda Eder and Carolee Carmello - their duet of In His Eyes is terrific and so is the Linda Eder/Anthony Warlow duet of It's a Dangerous Game.
I also admit to a soft spot for Jeckyll and Hyde and it's multiple cast recordings. Can't remember why I bought the first one but it was Colm Wilkinson & Linda Eder. Ok, that's probably why I bought it. But I love This Is The Moment, even though I associate more with Paul Wylie skating to it after winning the silver medal in '92.
I saw it on Broadway when Sebastian Bach (from Skid Row) played Jeckyll/Hyde. What can I say, I'm of the hair band generation.
Rinaldo - both high schools in my hometown and my cousin's high school put it on in the early/mid-90s. And my college actually did too now that I think about it. There was also a community production a friend was involved in a few years later. So to me it's overdone - also probably because it's not a show I'm particularly fond of. Fortunately, my school put on their production after I graduated.
Bob Mondello from All Things Considered also has a piece on this.

Article from NPR on the most performed plays and musicals in high schools throughout the decades. I was surprised that South Pacific was only in the top 6 once - to me, it's one of the most overdone musicals.

Granted, I wouldn't want to buy a complete fixer-upper if my husband were shipping out either, esp. with 5 young kids, but man alive, that woman was working my last nerve last night. Dead obvious she was going to get her way.
From Playbill.com - Other Things you shouldn't try to do in a Broadway theatre. I think the first one is my favorite but that may be because I saw Gentleman's Guide a few weeks ago.

How can they have a Paris episode without Adrian? And why is it always the person who isn't contributing to the rent that whines and wants the most expensive place?
A few belated comments on It Shoulda Been You. I really liked it. They're not breaking any new ground here, but the actors were great and it was a fun show. There was a proposal at the performance I went to (which I'm not really a fan of), and it was really cute watching the actors on stage while it was happening.
Kind of surprised that most of the cast from It's Only A Play were shut out. I know the reviews weren't great, but I thought the cast (for the most part) did a terrific job.
Seeing It Shoulda Been You this weekend.
I really don't know where the show is going at this point. This season just seems to be made up of these storylines that get resolved in 3 episodes and add nothing to the show. I do like Louise - rather would've had her around the last couple seasons than Charlotte - but this show really should've ended with Emily clearing David's name.
