During its final weeks at the Plymouth Theater, Jekyll & Hyde was taped by the Broadway Television Network (BTN). The recording is now available on video and DVD from many local and online retailers.

The video was originally released in September 2001. The DVD format of this first release includes two Dolby Digital soundtracks (2.0 Stereo, and 5.1 Surround), a special introduction and interview with David Hasselhoff, a trailer, and cast biographies.

The video was re-released on DVD in November 2006, by Image Entertainment. The second release adds anamorphic widescreen and a DTS 5.1 soundtrack. This release is also available for purchase at Amazon.

Broadband internet users can also order the show as video-on-demand using the DivX Networks Open Video System. Details on purchase in each of these formats can be found at BroadwayOnline.com (click on "Shopping" or "Broadway on Broadband").

The filming of Jekyll used the latest high-definition and surround sound technology, and was directed by three-time Emmy winner Don Roy King. The video features David Hasselhoff, Coleen Sexton, Andrea Rivette, George Merritt, and Barrie Ingham. You can view the cast list and scene and song list on Jekyll-Hyde.com.

"BTN has captured the production in spectacular fashion and Broadway theatre lovers are in for a very special treat," - Michael Jenkins, president and managing director of Dallas Summer Musicals

On March 10, 2001, Jekyll was presented on pay-per-view in the U.S., Canada and Latin America. It was also shown at seven specially equipped cinemas on the same date. These showings gave a unique viewing experience to fans in Boston, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Dallas, New York, Phoenix, and Washington DC. Cinemas in these areas were chosen because they had the technology to show the musical with the full picture and sound quality at which it was recorded. This extensive video exhibition was the first time that a non-film had been distributed for digital cinema showing. It has also been aired on HBO, in December 2002 and January 2003.
