This Gothic tale
is splendidly realised in a dark and brooding production that
grips from start to finish. This production not only deserves
a successful tour but also an eventual long stay in the West
End.
Musical Stages
Paul Nicholas Conveys fully the dual personalities. His fine
acting is matched by his singing both of the sung narrative
and in the powerful ‘This is the Moment’.
Musical Stages
As soon as the curtain rises on Jekyll & Hyde you know it
is West End material. With stunning sets and colourful costumes,
the excellent chorus belt out the songs and you immediately
think of Les Miserables.
The Argus – Eastbourne
I cannot heap enough praise on Louise Dearman, who plays Lucy,
and Shona Lindsay, who plays Jekyll’s fiancée Lisa
Carew.
The Argus – Eastbourne
Powerful, macabre drama... a marvellous production. The good
and evil sides of human nature are portrayed in excellent fashion
by Paul Nicholas... a truly atmospheric production.
Bexhill Observer
Terrific performances.
Eastbourne Herald
When Louise Dearman and Shona Lindsay duet they light up the
stage.
Eastbourne Herald
Paul Nicholas was a powerhouse from his first appearance...
the transformations underline his technical brilliance.
Sussex Express
All of the principals were close to flawless. As Lucy, Louise
Dearman was riveting and nailed her upper register like a mallet
hitting a chime.
Sussex Express
We [the audience] are genuinely involved, concerned for
Jekyll and
revolted by Hyde.
Sussex Express
I have seen this actor [Paul Nicholas] more times than any other
professional performer... this is his best performance so far.
Rotherham Advertiser
Entertaining, slick and pacey. Paul Nicholas’ versatility
is unquestioned in two richly dramatic – but different
– roles. Binding the whole dramatic tale is Wildhorn’s
wonderful score. If you like meat on your musical bones, and
some excellent company big number work, I am confident you will
enjoy this walk on the dark side.
Rotherham Advertiser
Captures the melodrama of the original. Songs are delivered
with plenty of punch and every cast member gives a well polished
performance.
Derbyshire Times
Paul Nicholas brilliantly portrayed the two faces of
Jekyll and Hyde. Words can’t describe how good he was.
But to be truthful everyone involved in the amazing production
showed star quality. I swear you wouldn’t get better on
Broadway.
Hull Daily Mail
Paul Nicholas gives a tour de force as Jekyll and Hyde
Plymouth Evening Herald
Don’t Hyde from this gem.
The Sentinel – Stoke
Shona Lindsay and Louise Dearman enchanted with some beautifully
crafted songs and excelled especially in their duet.
Belfast Telegraph
Paul Nicholas excels as scientist Dr Henry Jekyll. Shona Lindsay
is impressive as fiancée Lisa Carew, whilst Louise Dearman
gives a sensational performance as lady of the night Lucy Harris.
Their stunning treatment of many numbers should ensure that
this production takes its place firmly in the West End at the
end of its tour. Charles Camm’s set is cleverly designed
and the lighting is mean and moody. A wonderful example of musical
theatre at it’s very best.
Woking Review
Catch this one if you can; it’s an excellent night out
Bury Times
Jekyll & Hyde packs a powerful punch with an all-stops-out
performance by Paul Nicholas.
Liverpool Daily Post
A musical triumph. Paul Nicholas is mesmerising in the dual
lead roles.
Southend Echo
Musical brings shivers to spine. Paul Nicholas performed brilliantly,
as talented an actor as he is a singer. The sets were changed
seamlessly before your eyes and the show features a magnificent
chorus line. This is a terrifyingly exciting musical.
