Jekyll & Hyde 2012 Concept Recording Fans of this Frank Wildhorn musical are anxiously awaiting its arrival on Broadway in April of 2013 after its current cross- country tour wraps up. In the meantime, a CD for the show has already been released, which should help drum up business since it is very good indeed. The original production helped make a star out of Linda Eder. The new version already has a star in R&B songstress Deborah Cox, the multi-talented dance diva who recently appeared in Sacramento at the the disc, as are her costars Teal Wicks and 2012 Rainbow Festival. Cox is dynamite on Constantine Maroulis. Mr. Bolt Leather 2013 Contest Congratulations to Robert Brooks, the new Mr. Bolt Leather 2013. Brooks won the title at a contest held at The Bolt Bar on Saturday, Oct. 20.
