Jekyll & Hyde - Take Me As I Am

[peeshers1]

Heard this song first at the cabaret. When I was with her. Went back to that place last weekend and just walked through, re visiting all the old memory places. She may not still love me, but I love her. No doubt.

[Mstorm246]

I wish I was Emma when this took place.... :)

[OperaGhostObsession]

You know who I am. Take me as I am <3

[lilanthia]

Half of my brain is ranting about how pretty the song is.

The other half is ranting about how much I want that dress.

[jbobadger]

Andrea Rivette is still the best Emma

[noisycanary]

Noll's voice is absolutely beautiful!

[Poet2916]

his voice reminds me of..um, one of the guys that sings in the Les Miserables in the 10th anniversary..he says "it's better than an opera" to Marius when he tells the gang he's in love..0_o

[OmondoTheHedgehog]

@Poet2916 that would be grantaire... I believe...

[MrMusicman25]

Guys, i love the negativity about Hasslehoff. Why dont you try performing the role? Give the dude a break. He had a solid two year run in this role, you think you can do better? Seriously, grow the fuck up. Not everyone is gonna play this role the same way. People make different choices as actors

[SheepWearingLace]

We sing this in choir... Emma's part still gives me shivers :)

[xxkewldudexx]

This song is amazing...

[committeesq]

Her neck ... a vampire's dream.

[dustbiter445]

apparently Robert Cucciolis version wasnt good enough to be filmed and put on dvd... but the hoff! now theres a perfor....... Cuccioli needs to bring this back to broadway

[ginapleeds]

This play has been my absolute favorite since I was lucky enough to see it in it's original run...Mr Cuccioli is just beyond compare...his voice always blows me away and this performance always brings me to tears...I would pay almost anything to get THIS cast on a full DVD and not in bits and pieces on YouTube...

and who are the 4 morons disliking this??? Are you kidding me????

[Kozzi42]

After I watched Dangerous Game, I watched this and it blew my mind to see the same man all clean cut, gentle, and lovely!

[Maxkustrap]

I love Christiane noll!

[MrGrimDripper]

3 dislikes are totally (can't find any word). ......

[eternalmoon52]

WGM with Eunjung and Jangwoo brought me here :)

[MicroShaughft]

*Sigh* I saw this last night at Zilkha Hall in Houston and through this whole song all I could do was smile and be all teary-eyed. It was so sweet

[kexari]

These are the absolute perfect voices for this :D so much emotion

[alCjnth]

if i wasn't smiling while listening to this song, i swear, my mouth would be hanging open, drooling. :D

[TheSnowyowl11]

wonderful voices and score christine and robert are super thankyou so much for the clip

[TheSnowyowl11]

wonderful voices and score christine and robert are super

[judem81]

Amazing duet!



[xkfireflieskx]

Where are you getting these clips??

[RosesNightengales]

Is there any more of these? I wish they could make a pro shot of Once Upon A Dream (: That's one of my other favorite songs .

[seddream]

so sweet... XD

[Astroknot3]

It's so awesome to be able to find footage of the OBC performing these songs! Thank you for posting them!

[MrZiffos]

STUNNING

[Deadeye517]

='-D beautiful.

[MusicWarden]

He is better looking than David H and I LOVE his voice!. Where did you get the footage for this?? the song is so pretty!!

[MegaCupcakeluv]

Robert Cucciloli is ugly

[Catservative]

Frankly I don't think Robert Cuccioli is any good either. They should get Raoul from the Phantome of the Opera movie to play Jekyll. His voice is beautiful.

[catie124111]

@Catservative Are you crazy? Yes raoul has a a good voice, But Robert has SUCH a better voice. HIS voice is beautiful. So "frankly", i think robert's voice is so much better than your precious Raoul. But you have your opinion, and I have mine.

[Catservative]

@catie124111 Ok, well the mocking "frankly" and "precious Raoul" makes me fell as if you DON'T think I am entitled to my own opinion, but I am and it stands. I think Robert's voice is shrill and choppy. If you like, it I couldn't really care less. Enjoy it.

[SmashTaper]

I heard this today when my school performed this musical for a drama competition. I am hooked.

[ItzmePhilip]

Sounds amazing. First time I heard this song, I instantly fell in love with it.

[Ryuzaki40]

WHO PRESSED THE DISLIKE BUTTON?????? RYUZAKI SMASH!!!!

[PhangirlMusician]

This SO beats Disney. Although, for some reason, the Hoff version reminds me of Beauty and The Bea- oh, nevermind, I know why it reminds me, now ^_^

Gack... I love J/H...

[theatergeeksjk24601]

hoff pronounced his words like he was caught in a bear trap by his mouth

[mennoace]

@theatergeeksjk24601 he was the bear trap

[cassyclim8]

goshhhhhhhh their voices are just heavenly!

[hrtbrk808]

that dress kinda reminds me of belle in beauty and the beast... I played maurice in that one and I'm gonna try for jekyll and hyde on wednesday.

[twiwonder]

@hrtbrk808 good luck :)

[Aventura459]

That is a seriously YELLOW dress.

[beautifullybroken012]

@Aventura459 That dress is orange.

[evebil123]

@beautifullybroken012 I think it's supposed to be gold hehe :D x

[twiwonder]

The gesture when he kisses her hand at the end just tears my heart.

Love you, Robert. :)

[twiwonder]

He has a beautiful voice. 

[georgeforeman89]

how the hell did that ass clown as you all affectionately refer to as "the Hoff" get that job????? Robert kills it...*sigh* he's so beautiful. Very understated but that's what the character needs. His intentional limited movement and almost robotic like actions create a dark but affectionate character. Bravo

[pokemonisawesome11]

god she's pale

[jonickko]

you should search this on youtube :)

Martin Nievera and Regine Velasquez - Broadway Musical Medley

[mroneoftheguys]

There are tens of thousands that loved the job Hoff did in this play and check on U-tube and his whole play is there where thousands have enjoyed the job he did...So on this there are less then a hundred that rather then say something about this beautiful video need to needlessly rag on Hoff....

[everstardream]

this is beautiful but he makes a totally creeper face at 3:08.

[twiwonder]

@everstardream ??????????

[m8schramp7598]

I think I like the version I have on CD better haha.

[Squirmer1000]

im pretty sure that the guy who played jekyll/hyde in my school's production of this was better than hoff AND robert cuccioli. :D

[TheatreArt]

@Squirmer1000 Well your buddy's not on Broadway!

[mTenor44]

cb south jekyll and hyde look it up on youtube they did a great version of this

[MrMusicman25]

Suck it hasslehoff, suck it long, and suck it hard!

[MrMusicman25]

hoff cant sing for his fucking life

[connormalone]

@MrMusicman25 Tell that to the people in Germany who buy his records.... LMAO

[divashaf16]

WOW!!!! Christiane Noll is A-mazing!! I love how her voice is such a high sweet soprano. She's simply stunning.

[AtLastOnTheGround]

It's very hard to sing this song without making it sound cheesy. Cuccioli pulls it off beautifully. Such a talented actor.

[suziesings]

This is an incredable show! Our Jekyll was ouststanding! I had the pleasure to play Emma.

[musik4lyfe100]

this is really good

[AzureBluee]

Amazing performance!!

[TropicalTopaz]

I like this Emma much better than Hasselhof's Emma :p

[wincipoet]

in fact I think both Chirstiane and Andrea are great,,,Andrea's version of Once upon a Dream is better but Christiane's In His Eyes has won me over

[wakadwakad]

great performance

[MadameShakespeare]

Christiane has such a gorgeous voice. So beautiful!

[mroneoftheguys]

1:25 he reaches for her hand...so cool..as she looks and takes it....lovely...give me your hand...give me your heart...sware we will never part......take me as I am..............romance....ya got to love it.............

[andrear]

That sound mix is soo much friendlier than what they did with the hasselhoff recording.

This is so pretty. Christiane..so pretty! Love her.

[skittlespazz]

this is so beautiful...the perfect duet

[Tonic137]

Blow my fucking mind out off the earth.... so perfect. Wow.... superfluous how perfect they are.

[ebayoz]

There is no other voice like Christiane's. None.

[kiki09ist]

amen on that broadwayactor94

[xandemotta]

what an energy it has... amazing.

[broadwayactor94]

tell the HOFF to take notes

[jazzymcjazzster]

@broadwayactor94 OMG I agree! I literally saw one clip from that version and immediatly stopped watching. It was unbearable lol

[NavaeraGreenleaf88]

@broadwayactor94 hahaha. Indeed. Still don't understand why they thought it might be a good idea to cast mr Knight Rider as Jekyll/Hyde. It just hurts hearing/seeing him destroy such wonderful characters

[wisdomseeker03]

amazig

[xandemotta]

The lyric says it all. It´s amazing. This duo is perfect.

[emmarox4eva]

oohh. I have to do this song in a musical for my drama class!

[LueShong]

this was probably the best version of J&H....

[msalg01]

so beautiful *tear

[hayyitskayla]

Beautiful song and amazing singers :)

[liviolee]

Beatiful song and gret voices. Thank you so much.

[BwayDreamer1128]

argh they should really kiss at the end!!!

this song is so gorgeous, and it reminds me of All I Ask Of You :-)

[Raygunn24]

Get the demo recording with Anthony Warlow and Carolee Carmello.....STUNNING!!!!!!

[dtothehammy93]

Christiane's voice adds so much innocence to Emma..plus she's beautiful!

[TWILIGHTMAD100]

A M A Z I N G

so beautiful when you appreciate the story behind the words as well

[stitchgrl777]

she has such a clear, beautiful voice.

[brandOFheroin09]

this is my ballet song! ughhh it's so beautiful! i am also dancing to facade! <3 we are daning with white masks for that one! it's going to be great!

[BwayBoundChristian]

2:37

Cute head nod ftw.

Ugh- so beautiful.

[rachaello28]

I love this always makes me cry!!!

[cpjc08]

excellent

[iactblack247]

this is a great song i love emma' s part

[ChillMore669]

how long did this last on broadway?

[AlexiaDark]

4 years.

[kimahulimage]

Can I watch this in full somewhere?

The one with THIS cast? Not the hoff cast

[sotaptinc]

Too many people bash the Hoff.  I liked that version, though I do like this one better. It brought me to tears.

[LerouxFan]

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing. This better than the movie version with Hasselhoff. My favorite Emma and favorite Jekyll/Hyde.

[cassygurlx3]

Amazing <3 :DD!

[thevintagerose]

Could you please, please, PLEASE post Cuccioli's version of "Confrontation," if you've got it?

[BwayBoundChristian]

If you go to HydeCorner's channel he has a short clip of it. It's also in my favorites.

[miketiek1]

so is this show still running on Broadway?

[BwayBoundChristian]

All the J&H fans wish...xD Maybe it'll come back one day...

[kait4489]

this is beautiful! much better than the hasslehoff version, but anthony warlowe is still my fave jekyll/hyde.

[BwayBoundChristian]

I...can actually...understand what he's singing! O.O I couldn't understand anything the Hoff sang in this part! This is so beautiful...wonderful voices. Robert is very, very attractive. :)

[heyheykaba]

hoff was great! he did very well! i was surprised. great job!!!! both productions were great!!!GREAT MUSICAL!!!

[Nandi65]

Hoff was awesomely bad yes

[TamerynTRADGIC]

that was random seems as this isnt hoff singing

[tammy784]

@Nandi65 if only ...... louis(jekyll) was so much better in this that the Hoff. anyway at least there was one good version of the show lol

[LiaKosinski]

@Nandi65 Yes its sad that he distracted everyone from how great his leading ladies were with his poor singing and and acting.

[cpjc08]

WOW

[hsmsoccer]

wonderful :D I get chills every time i listen.

my theatre company did this last year, and i was to young to be a part of it, but i wish i could have been!

[abercromegan]

theyre phrasing and tone are magnificent... bravo

[BrazilNemoFish]

He is so much better than David Hasselhof. I love Christine Noll too, but I like Andrea Rivette better though.

[Nandi65]

Whomever asked David Hasselhoff to do this was at best an idiot at worst a musical criminal if there was such a person

[porkhunt999]

He was asked to do the part cos they knew he woulld be awesome and he WAS!!!! Hoff that is

[Spiceofmadrid]

you must be hoff lol

[musicalsrock95]

christiane noll is amazing but she overpowers robert cuccioli

[THSDramatick]

Robert Cuccioli is INCREDIBLE!

[phantom4087]

I love how he phrases the line, "Swear to me we'll never part!"

[Iareto]

Christiane Noll is the perfect Emma. Her voice is just BEAUTIFUL. What a gentle, lyrical soprano sound she has! Totally gorgeous!

[megustasstuu]

what does it mean to be a lyrical soprano?

I am not a native english speaker :)

[Iareto]

Lyrical means light, bright and very sweet sounding. A very pretty sound. There's hardly any darkness to her voice, and I LOVE that about her. That's what it means, when I use the term at least ;).

[subwayeatfresh45]

who do you think would win in a singing fight christiane noll or andrea rivette

[Iareto]

I think they're both excellent singers, but I personally would rather hear Christiane Noll sing this stuff. Perhaps Andrea Rivette is better in other things.

[thelivesofme1]

where'd this vid come from? was this show filmed

[stitchgrl777]

CHristiane noll has SUCH a pretty voice. it's the definition of sweet/pretty.

[RedFoxAce]

I think you mean 'singing contest;' 'singing fight' would sound like the two performers were after each other's throats :P

[phantomgirl1126]

I think I prefer Christiane Noll. Her soprano is more pure than Andrea's, and I think that suits the character a little bit better. They are both great singers, though.

[nectarlover]

I love him so much better than Hoff :P

but i love this song

^_^

[LoveCommunityTheater]

<3 it thanks for posting!!

[stueymagee]

omg i cried! hes so good

[Z985]

I love this song!...

:).

[adelwee]

Does anyone have the entire show (and not the Hoff's one pls) with Bob Cuccioli?

I wrote to wish him happy birthday last month and he wrote back! I told him I still think he's hot etc coz I never expected him to reply but now that he did, I'm a little embarrassed, lol. But it's all good. He's such a sweet sweet man. Love you Bob!

[randommusicgal]

Aw, that's so sweet, of both of you! Didn't realise he actually replied to fan mail. And yeah, I second that request. Hoff's is the only one on, I think, except from that one with Rob Evan, but that's only got the Carew scenes in it, not the actual show. If you watch it you'll see what I mean.

(:

[hbomb2704]

that made me laugh the part about u telling him hes hot haha

[paulawabbott]

I saw him in the show on B'way on

Easter Sunday, years ago. Booked it before X-mas and didn't know it was or I would done a different day. Ferry from Edgewater, NJ to Manhattan, Easter parade, what a show it was. I don't have the show, just saw it in person, he is great. Saw the original Les Mis too and took my kids the 2nd time. They loved it.

[MichaelCrawfordsFan]

^^ More Please! :D

[Megmac3901]

Thank you so much for these videos. :-)

[Saltiegal]

Yay! I've always wanted to see these two. Thanks for putting this up! ^^

[bwaybabydezz]

Christiane Noll is so amazing. xx

[miamichobit]

Yay original cast!

[amazedisgrace]

Much better actors in this than in the Hoff version. I love Christiane Noll's voice, she is amazing.

[MichaelCrawfordsFan]

Well, I liked the girl who played Emma and Lucy ^^ in the Hoff verison

[moonkissed45]

Me too!

[bohemiawelcumsyou]

well it seems MUCH more low-budget then the Hoff's taped performance [he just wasn't great even though the set was much better] but I LOVE the Cooch in this role!
