However I do have a few problems with this book. A few of the great songs from the Concept Album are not in this. The first major exclusion is the incredibly difficult sing, I Need to Know. The second is Transformation. The last problem is that some of the notes have been changed to make some of the songs easier. For example the last note of Alive! is no longer an incredible high "A" but an "E" Though the positives do indeed outweigh the negatives. There is a wide selection of songs (refer to song list) all equipped with great piano accompaniment.

Song List = Lost In the Darkness. Take Me as I Am. No One Knows Who I Am. Good and Evil. This Is The Moment. Alive! Sympathy, Tenderness. Someone Like You. Murder, Murder! Once Upon A Dream. In His Eyes. It's A Dangerous Game. A New Life. Confrontation


Alive! Reprise is missing   May 22, 2001

I bought this book, expecting to see both parts of "Alive!" in it. For those of you who have the Concept Cast recording, it's the second half of the song, for those with the Broadway cast, it's a few tracks later. In any case, the reprise is much more dramatic, difficult, and impressive, and some of the music is different. Boo to Cherry Lane Music for dumbing this down.


Beautiful Music. Dissapointing book.   December 16, 2004

I love Jekyll and Hyde, and I'm a Jekkie. So honestly, I expected much more.

While the score is beautiful, the sheet music is lacking.

First off- All the duets, (IE. Dangerous Game) don't have the different characters written in. While this means they can be sung as solos, they could have written the name and the performer have ignored them.

Second- Alive has been butchered to its very core. Its second half-(What I hear is actually the reprise of it) is very good and is the whole reason I bought the book. In this case, however, its missing. What this means is that it was probably shortened with the idea of an audition.

Second, the last note Hyde hits in Alive! has been changed from a High A to a E. Easily fixable, but annoying.

If you have the 1994 concept album with Anthony Warlow and were expecting things like 'I need to Know' and 'Bring On the men', these won't be found here as they are cut from most shows. Don't fear-these can be found in 'The World of Jekyll and Hyde' sheet book.

Its hard for me to reccomend this. However, if you really need 'This is The Moment' sheet music, this is the easiest way to get it. But, if you ever find the now out-of-print CONCEPT ALBUM of Jekyll and Hyde Sheet music, that has all these things fixed, grab that.

It's a very good music book and a wonderful musical, anyone who loves broadway should see it and get the music.
