Robert Cuccioli gives a splendidly virtuoso performance, using no makeup or devices for his transformation from a stern, Jeverrt-like Jekyll to a nastily slavering Hyde.
Many critics hate it, but the public loves it already.
Robert Cuccioli is very impressive as the Victorian scientist, using no masks or make-up to effect his character's metamorphosis. What such successful British musicals as 'Phantom' and 'Les Miz' have done to restore 19th century melodrama to a theater that imagined it had outgrown such things. Like You' are genuinely moving. Robin Phillips has directed and designed the show in the grand manner it requires and has drawn superb performances from his cast. Robert Cuccioli, who has the looks and talent of an old-fashioned matinee idol, is sensational, especially in 'Confrontation,' in which he alternates between his two natures smashingly.
