Act I.
At the end of the 1800's. Henry Jekyll, ambitious (and well-known)
doctor is working on a chemical serum, which could help his insane father- and
others (Prologue, Lost int the darkness). Although everybody say there is
no hope, Jekyll doesn't give up. Scene change: we can see the horrify side of
London- side of facade and mendacity (Facade). Another change: Jekyll
appears and we know, that he almost finish the formula. He ask only one,
irretrievable man, on who try his serum- but the hypocrite borad of governors of
St. Judeas Hospital (Sir Danvers Carew, Bishop of Basingstoke, General Glossop,
Sir Archibald Proops, Lady Beaconsfield, Lord Savage and the secretary Simon
Stride) deny him (Board of Governors).
Jekyll is getting angry- he cannot understand the board (yap, I can understand
him). John utterson- friend and lawayer of Jekyll- tries to aid him (Pursuit
the truth). Next scene is the a party for Jekyll and Emma /daughter of Sir
Danvers Carew/. Henry lates, but his bride undertsands and standy by him. Simon
Stride, Emma's previous groom anixous for her, so does Sir Carew (Emma's
reasons, Take me as I am, Letting go 2nd version).
By Henry's stag party Utterson takes along Jekyll into the Red Rat (Facade-
reprise 1). The main attraction of the pleasure-ground, Lucy Harris lates-
after her song (Bring on the man!) the pimp, Spider hurts her 'cause of
the late. Henry invites the girl (Lucy meets Jekyll). Jekyll doesn't
accept the girl's proposition but gives his namecard to her- if any time she
needs a friend, know where to find him.
Jekyll decides- without subject, he wants to use himself in the experiment (Outside
Jekyll's Laboratory, This is the moment). And- what a pity- he injections
the HJ17- in great pain he becomes the pure evil Edward Hyde (The
transformation, Alive!).
At first, Hyde is looking for someone- and when he finds Lucy, hurts her (Girls
of the Night).
Jekyll writes about unspeakable nightmares in his diary- new senasition,
stronger physical power, horrible dreams. He continues the experiment, although
it seems out of control. Doesn't sleep, doesn't eat- Poole, the servant talk
about this to Utterson. He and Emma worry for Henry. Jekyll gives letters to the
lawyer, who calls him to account for it (His work and nothing more).
After that comes Lucy Harris- she said, someone hurt her. Jekyll asked, who he
was. Lucy's answer? "I'll never forgot his name. Hyde. Edawrd Hyde." Jekyll
understands, what happened...
The reward of the healing is a kiss from Lucy (Sympathy, tenderness , Someone
like you...).
Scene change: the Park. The right honourable Bishop of Basingstoke gives "thanks"
to a young girl for the "provision". Yap, Hyde is there- and (he's got nothing
better to do) kills the paedophil bishop.
ACT II.
Here comes the most fantastic ensemblesong of the musical-history: Murder,
murder! Amazing thing: during five minutes, Hyde massacres the hypocritical
board's members.
Emma- of course- worrying about Henry, and takes a look at the lab. Her fiancé
is not there, but she finds Jekyll's diary- when Henry arrives, calls Emma to
account for she was reading the notes (Once upon a dream...). After Emma
gets out of there, the doctor writes something wrong: the transformations come
unpredictable. Here comes Utterson-he read the letter what Jekyll gave him- and
surprised, 'cause he saw Henry's testament. He asked the lawyer to get some drug
from Bisset, the chemist.
Nice duet by Lucy and Emma (In his eyes). At East End Hyde meets Lucy,
and he says: he has to go away now, but God have mercy, if she unfaithful be (Dangerous
game, Facade reprise 3.).
Utterson understands Jekyll's problem, when he meets Hyde in the doc's lab- Hyde
"calls out" Henry. John leaves him alone in fear- Jekyll sends a letter to Lucy
through the lawyer. Next scene: Lucy's flat. Utterson read the letter for the
illiterate girl. Henry attached money to the letter and in it asks Lucy: go away,
she's not in safe there. She dreams about a better life (A new life).
Thunder, flashing- suddenly Hyde appears in the flate. Says, he knows: the girl
is in love with Henry, and now she must die. Kills her (Lucy's death).
Jekyll is totally horrified by his dark side- and think about is there any
chance to him (The way back)? Decides, if there is no other
possibility, he'll be suicide (Confrontation). Lucy's funeral comes (Facade
reprise 3.).
The church bells are ringin for Emma's and Jekyll's wedding- it seems,
everything's alright. Altough Henry lates, there is no bigger problem. When the
priest speak aloud Jekyll's name, he has indisposition- Hyde comes out...
Kills Stride, and tries to carry off Emma. When he becomes to the doctor a least,
Henry ask Utterson to shoot him. He cannot do this, so Emma has to kill her
groom.
The nightmare ends with Henry Jekyll's death.
