What I'm hoping for the new Jekyll and Hyde

I'm hoping that they put "Love Has Come of Age" in the show instead of "Take Me as I Am" I think it'll show Constantine much more, and I think it's the better song between Jekyll and Emma. Don't get me wrong "Take Me as I Am" is beautiful but "Love Has Come of Age" is GLORIOUS!

Same here. As much as I love both the songs, but "Love Has Come of Age" is just so much better. I am seeing the show in Charlotte, NC this November. I hope it's good.
Theatre is my life. No one can take that away from me.

Nudity, that's what I'm hoping for.
Why hasn't this show had nudity in the past?

I doubt "Love Has Come of Age" will be in, but you never know with Wildhorn. I think it's more likely that they will either use "Take Me as I Am" or a new song. "The World Has Gone Insane" will almost definitely be in, and other then that I think the only songs that are "safe" are "This is the Moment," "Someone Like You" and "A New Life." Everything else could, theoretically, be replaced with something else or with new material that has been mentioned in press releases.

I do think a little nudity could spice up the show a bit, but unfortunately, it would almost certainly be female nudity which, in that case, should definitely not be included.
That's right! Underscore mother-fu@#ers!

I want the FCLO book, the Resurrection song stack (and minor dialogue), and an overall rock edge. This story is crying out to be rock and roll, but Wildhorn wrote pop. Resurrection as an album was a step in the right direction, arrangement-wise, and in terms of simplifying the story.

I hate the FCLO book. The best book, in my opinion, was actually the Broadway book and not the lousy tour version that MTI currently licenses. The only major issue with the Broadway text was the removal of "Bring on the Men."

I do like some of the Resurrection arrangements aside from "Dangerous Game," and that "rock" sound definitely seems to be the direction their going in for this production. I bet the book will be an all new version though. If it's not entirely new, Jeff Calhoun is definitely going to make some changes.

Detroit and Toronto were added and just the other day Denver was added. I think there is room for only one more city if they add anything else.

Saw the original on Broadway so I will pass on it in Charlotte but my two daughters will go see it.

Hate hate hate the arrangements of the Resurrection album. All the 80s electric guitar sounds dated and intrusive to the point of distraction. The more Wildhorn leans towards "rock" in the arrangements, the more inconsistent the score sounds. To me, it's not a good fit at all. I'm really not sure why there is so much interest to depart from the most successful versions of the show (1990 and 1995).

Each had their flaws, and as Wildhorn's first major work, it's the "baby" he'll always need to "mother" the most, sort of like how Jim Rado is still re-writing Hair lo these many years later.
