“This is the Moment” is a song by Frank Wildhorn and Leslie Bricusse….which is a major song in the Broadway musical Jekyll & Hyde…..whereas actors from the Broadway production like Robert Cuccioli, and David Hasselhoff sing it in the key of E…..as the song is sung by Jekyll before he tests his formula on himself. In stage performances, the set typically transitions at this point between Jekyll’s living room and his laboratory….and when the song ends, Jekyll is in his laboratory, ready to test the formula.
As seen in this video herewith…..the song is used as a music overview of highlights from the 1986 NCAA college football season…..as the words of the song fit the scenario of the video as follows….“This is the day…just see it shine….when all I’ve lived for becomes mine!….cuz this is the moment….this is the hour…. when I can open up tomorrow like a flower….and put my hand to everything I planned…to fulfill my grand design….and see all my stars align!….for all these years….I’ve faced the world alone….and now the time has come….to prove to them I’ve made it on my own!”
