Jekyll & Hyde: The Musical, directed by Don Roy King. (Musical theatre, 2001)

Jekyll: [while stumbling around dizzily and laughing, then writing in a notebook] No noticeable behavioral differences...

Blurb: David freakin' Hasslehoff plays the virtuous Dr. Jekyll and his murderous headmate Mr. Hyde. Watch him devour scenery, wear enormous fur coats, and have a full-on conniption on stage as the two headmates battle for dominance.

Why is it worth your time?: This musical is ridiculous. I cannot call it good, but I have watched it twice. You are either here to watch David Hasslehoff howling and clawing at his clothes, or you do not want to watch this. Even though Jekyll and Hyde is the millstone around many a multi neck, I can't deny, I enjoy how Hasslehoff portrays the switches and uses body posture, voice, and hair to show who's in charge at any given time.

Plural Tags: switching, abuse not mentioned

Content Warnings: contain spoilers; see comments

Access Notes: Available on DVD and VHS. The DVD, shockingly, has no subtitles.

If you are just into the music, I highly recommend the 1994 Concept Album, which has some slightly different songs, and no Hasslehoff (which may or may not be a plus, depending on how you feel about the man)

Mac: heresy! Hasslehoff is the best part!
