ACT ONE
LOST IN THE DARKNESS [ Top ] JEKYLL: Lost in the darkness, Silence surrounds you. Once there was morning, Now endless night. If I could reach you, I'd guide you and teach you To walk from the darkness Back into the light. Deep in your silence, Please try to hear me; I'll keep you near me Till night passes by. I will find the answer. I'll never desert you - I promise you this - Till the day that I die...
FAÇADE [ Top ] ENSEMBLE: There's a face that we wear In the cold light of day - It's society's mask, It's society's way, And the truth is That it's all a façade! There's a face that we hide Till the nighttime appears, And what's hiding inside, Behind all of our fears, Is our true self, Locked inside the façade! Every day People, in their own sweet way, Like to add a coat of paint, And be what they ain't! That's how our little - Game is played, Livin' like a masquerade Actin' a bizarre charade - While playing the saint! But there's one thing I know, And I know it for sure: This disease that we've got Has got no ready cure! And I'm certain Life is terribly hard - When your life's a façade! Look around you! I have found You cannot tell, by lookin' at the surface, What is lurkin' there beneath it! See that face! Now, I'm prepared to bet you, What you see's not what you get - 'Cause man's a master of deceit ! So, what is the sinister secret? The lie he will tell you is true? - It's that each man you meet In the street Isn't one man but two! Nearly everyone you see - Like him an' her, An' you, an' me - Pretends to be A pillar of society - A model for propriety - Sobriety An' piety - Who shudders at the thought Of notoriety! The ladies an' gents 'ere before you - Which none of 'em ever admits - May 'ave saintly looks - But they're sinners an' crooks! Hypocrites! Hypocrites! There are preachers who kill! There are killers who preach! There are teachers who lie! There are liars who teach! Take yer pick, dear - "Cause it's all a façade! If we're not one, but two, Are we evil or good? Do we walk the fine line - That we'd cross if we could? Are we waiting - To break through the façade? One or two Might look kinda well-to-do - Hah! They're bad as me an' you, Right down they're boots! I'm inclined to think - Half mankind Thinks the other half is blind! Wouldn't be surprise to find - They're all in cahoots! At the end of the day, They don't mean what they say, They don't say what they mean, They don't ever come clean - And the answer - Is it's all a façade! Is it's all a façade! Man is not one, but two, He is evil and good, An' he walks the fine line We'd all cross if we could! It's a nightmare - We can never discard - So we stay on our guard - Though we love the façade - What's behind the façade? Look behind the façade!
PURSUE THE TRUTH [ Top ] JEKYLL: How can I pursue the truth, When they can block each step I take? UTTERSON: Henry, you have come too far - Remember what you have at stake! JEKYLL: John, I know I'm right! I must let my vision guide me! I'm so weary of the fight! There's so little left inside me! UTTERSON: If you know that you are right, Then you've got to see it through, You've got to see it through! JEKYLL: Seven years ago, I started out on this alone, And it's alone I'll see it through To its conclusion! Who are they To judge what I am doing? They know nothing Of the endless possibilities I see! It's ludicrous I'm bound by their decision! UTTERSON: Seems vision Is a word They never heard! JEKYLL: If it mattered less, I'd treat them with derision - It's absurd! UTTERSON: And yet, the fact remains, Those bastards hold the reins!
FAÇADE - Reprise 1 [ Top ] ENSEMBLE If you live around here, You need cash in the bank, 'Cause the houses 'round here Are all flashy and swank, An' the front bit Is what's called a façade! If you live around here, You need lots of panache! If you live in town, dear, Then you must cut a dash! 'Tisn't hard, dear, To create a façade! Here tonight it's festive - But the guests are getting restive - 'Cause the guest of honour's Causing a dilemma! Doctor Jekyll Tardy For his own engagement party - His betrothal To sir Danvers' daughter, Emma!
EMMA'S REASONS [ Top ] STRIDE: Emma Carew, Can this be you? What kind of man Is this you've taken? Can you not see The kind of life That this would be? You are mistaken! Time to awaken, Before it's too late, Before you forever Determine your fate! EMMA: But, Simon, you knew I had to be free. What I choose to do Is decided by me! From the day my mother died, My father , full of good intentions, Treated me as though I were a young child. Maybe his idea was just to wait Until I grew up, And then look at me And hope that I'd be her. It's easy to accept that From a father He'd rather Things remained the way they were. But when it comes to marriage, I must pick whom I prefer! I am not the weak young thing You're seeking, Simon, Someone seventeen, obedient and sweet. I am not the protégée To waste your time on. I'm complete - In Henry's eyes I see What I am meant to be! -
I MUST GO ON [ Top ] JEKYLL: I must go on With the work I'm committed to - How can I not, When my theories are true? And I will prove, If I'm ever permitted to, Things are not wrong, Just because they are new! EMMA: Henry, I adore, Always have done, Always will do, And your dreams are mine! I will always understand. However hard the path you've planned, Our lives will intertwine... JEKYLL: Who knows where my work will lead me? EMMA: Nowhere where you will not need me! JEKYLL: Emma, please I beg you, heed me! EMMA: Just don't leave me on my own! JEKYLL: The only thing I fear is the unknown... EMMA: When this all began, We knew there'd be a price to pay! Too late now to turn away - We have come too far! I know we'll find a way...
TAKE ME AS I AM [ Top ] JEKYLL: Sometimes I see Past the horizon, Sure of my way, Where I am going - But where's the prize I have my eyes on? Where? There is just no knowing! And when despair Tears me in two, Who can I turn to But you? You know who I am... Take me as I am. EMMA: Look in my eyes, Who do you see there? Someone you know, Or just a stranger? If you are wise, You will see me there! Love is the only danger! Love meaning me, Love meaning you, We'll make that one dream come true! You know who I am... Take me as I am. JEKYLL & EMMA: Though fate won't always do What we desire - Still we can set The world on fire! Give me your hand, Give me your heart - JEKYLL: Swear to me we'll never part! EMMA: We'll never part! JEKYLL: You know who I am. EMMA: You know who I am. JEKYLL: This is who I am. EMMA: This is who I am. JEKYLL & EMMA: Take me as I am...
LETTING GO [ Top ] SIR DANVERS: Emma, don't you understand! It's you I am concerned for. EMMA: Father, don't be! You should be concerned for him! He's the one in need! SIR DANVERS: I am only trying to protect you! What else would you have your father do? I think I would die, If any harm should come to you. I'm scared, my child, Because I'm going to lose you. I find it very hard, To let you go! EMMA: Father, If you try to, You could never lose me! Darling father, I still love you, More than you will ever know! But if we want our love to grow - SIR DANVERS: I know, in time, I have to let you go. EMMA & SIR DANVERS: We mustn't be afraid of letting go...
FAÇADE - Reprise 2 [ Top ] ENSEMBLE: 'Ere in London East End, It's the pit of the Earth - Where you won't find a friend - Where yer life 'as no worth - Death is waiting - Fate is makin' yer card. You got one chance in five - They're the odds you must beat If you wanna survive - So be fast on yer feet! Life's 'ard 'ere - It's the devil's backyard!
NO ONE KNOWS WHO I AM [ Top ] LUCY: Look at me, And tell me who I am. Why I am What I am. Call me a fool, And it's true I am. I don't know Who I am. It's such a shame, I'm such a sham. No one knows Who I am. Am I the face of the future? Am I the face of the past? Am I the one who must finish last? Look at me, And tell me who I am, Why I am What I am. Will I survive? Who will give a damn, If no one knows Who I am? Nobody knows - Not even you - No one knows who I am...
GOOD 'N' EVIL [ Top ] LUCY: Good and evil - And their merits - Men have argued through history - As well they should! My philosophy Any child can see - "Good is evil - And therefore All evil is good" How do you tell evil from good? Evil does well - good not so good! Evil's the one that is free everywhere - Good is the one that they sell! You must decide which is heaven - Which is hell! Good maintain evil's a curse! - But it is plain good's even worse! Evil's the one that they tell you to shun - Good is the one to embrace Say that and Satan will laugh right in your face! The battle between good and evil Goes back to the start - Adam and Eve and the apple tore Eden apart! The key thing about good 'n' evil - Each man has to choose! - Heaven 'n' hell Is a helluva gamble to lose! - But as I peruse This world we abuse - It's hell that we choose - And heaven must lose! Evil is everywhere - Good doesn't have a prayer! Good is commendable - Evil's dependable! Evil is viable Good's unreliable! Good may be thankable! Evil is bankable! Evil's for me - you can have good! Doesn't suit me to be Robin Hood! S'easier by far, from the way that things are, To remain good 'n' evil Than try to be evil and good!
NOW THERE IS NO CHOICE [ Top ] JEKYLL: Now there is no choice: I must put aside The fears I feel inside... There's no place to hide! So it comes to this: One great golden chance That only I can take, When everything I fought for Is at stake!... To make the mark That only I can make!
THIS IS THE MOMENT [ Top ] JEKYLL: This is the moment! This is the day, When I send all my doubts and demons On their way! Every endeavor, I have made - ever - Is coming into play, Is here and now - today! This is the moment, This is the time, When the momentum and the moment Are in rhyme! Give me this moment - This precious chance - I'll gather up my past And make some sense at last! This is the moment, When all I've done - All the dreaming, Scheming and screaming, Become one! This is the day - See it sparkle and shine, When all I've lived for Becomes mine! 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! This is the moment - My final test - Destiny beckoned, I never reckoned, Second Best! I won't look down, I must not fall! This is the moment, The sweetest moment of them all! This is the moment! Damn all the odds! This day, or never, I'll sit forever With the gods! When I look back, I will always recall, Moment for moment, This was the moment, The greatest moment Of them all!
FIRST TRANSFORMATION [ Top ] JEKYLL: I must be wise, I must try to analyze Each change in me, Everything I see - How will it be? Will I see the world Through different eyes? Like a warning light, Glimmering in red, Like crimson bloodshed, Shimmering in red, Beautiful and strange, See the colors change Before my eyes! See how they dance And they sparkle, Like diamonds at night - Leading out of the darkness And into the light! Three fifty-eight a.m. It is done. I have injected 5 centiliters of the newly fused formula. A slight feeling of euphoria. Light-headedness. No noticeable behavioral differences. Now the die is cast! Nothing left to do... Time along can prove My theories true... Show the world... Dear God! What is this? Something is happening - I can't explain - Something inside me - A breathtaking pain - Devours and consumes me - And drives me insane! Suddenly - Uncontrolled - Something is Taking hold! Suddenly - Agony - Filling me! Killing me! Suddenly - Out of breath! What is this? Is this death? Suddenly - Look at me! - Can it be? Who is this Creature That I see? Free!
ALIVE [ Top ] HYDE: What is this feeling Of power and drive I've never known? I feel alive! Where does this feeling Of power derive, Making me know Why I'm alive? Like the night, it's a secret, Sinister dark and unknown. I do not know what I seek, Yet I'll seek it alone! I have a thirst That I cannot deprive. Never have I felt so alive! There is no battle I couldn't survive - Feeling like this - Feeling alive! Like the moon, an enigma, Lost and alone in the night Damned by some heavenly stigma, But blazing with light! It's the feeling of being alive! Filled with evil, but truly alive! It's the truth that cannot be denied! It's the feeling of being Edward Hyde!
YOUR WORK - AND NOTHING MORE [ Top ] UTTERSON: You have your work And nothing more! You are possessed - What is your demon? You've never been This way before - Where is the fire You built your dream on? There's something strange, There's something wrong. I see a change - It's like when hope dies. I, who have known You for so long, I see the pain In your eyes! UTTERSON JEKYLL: There was a time Have You lived your life, I And no one lived Become - The way that you did! You had a plan, My work You chose a wife, And nothing You saw the world More? As very few did! You had it all - I The overall! - Know You seemed to know That's Just what to live for! Not But now, it seems, What You don't at all, I'm You have you work - Living Nothing more!... For!... EMMA: Father, you know Henry won't just walk away. The only way he knows Is straight ahead! SIR DANVERS Emma, you've not heard A single word I've said! My fear is, he's in over his head. He could lose control, And that I dread There has been talk: They say he's gone too far. He's locked himself away In his own world, Pursuing the insanity -! EMMA: It is his work! SIR DANVERS: It's more than work - He is obsessed! The man is driven! EMMA: Just give him time, I ask no more. His work's a crime To be forgiven! SIR DANVERS: EMMA: There's something strange. Just give him time Unless I'm blind! I ask no more I see a change Of a bizarre kind! EMMA: SIR DANVERS: There's not at all! He's chasing dreams Don't be unkind. He'll never find The problem's all In your mind! SIR DANVERS: UTTERSON: JEKYLL: He has his work This increasing Father... And nothing more. Isolation only adds He is obsessed! To your frustration The man is driven! And it could Endanger Your EMMA: JEKYLL: Just give him time, Career... Who are they I ask no more. To judge what I His work's a crime Am doing they To be forgiven! Know nothing Of the Possibilities I see. SIR DANVERS: UTTERSON: JEKYLL: He's chasing Time to awaken And I will Dreams Before it's too Prove, if I'm He'll never find! Late Ever I see a change Permitted to Of a bizarre kind EMMA: UTTERSON: JEKYLL: There's not at all! Before you forever Things are not Don't be unkind. Determine your fate Wrong just Problem's all What you're Because they In your mind! Living for Are new! EMMA: SIR DANVERS/UTTERSON: JEKYLL: ENSEMBLE: Still, I pray, Dear, I pray, I pray If you live around Every day, Every day, I Here lots of people I Henry may Henry may May Fear will make Find his way. Find his way! Find Promises I pray he may I pray he may My They will not Find his way! Find his way Way! Honor My dear and the I will pray, I will pray I Truth is Every day, Every day. Pray That it's all a Henry may You two may I Façade Find his way. Find your way! May I pray I pray Find He may find You may find My His way! Your way Way! ENSEMBLE: There's a beast at The door And he's wild and He's free but We don't let him in 'Cause We don't want to See what Is lurking right Behind the Façade.
SYMPATHY, TENDERNESS [ Top ] LUCY: Sympathy, tenderness, Warm as the Summer, Offer me their embrace. Friendliness, gentleness, Strangers to my life, They are there in his face. Goodness and sweetness And kindness Abound in this place I am in love With the things That I see in his face - It's a memory I know Time will never erase...
SOMEONE LIKE YOU [ Top ] LUCY: I peer through windows, Watch life go by, Dream of tomorrow, And wonder "why"? The past is holding me, Keeping life at bay, I wander lost in yesterday, Wanting to fly - But scared to try. But if someone like you Found someone like me, Then suddenly Nothing would ever be the same! My heart would taken wing, And I'd feel so alive - If someone like you Found me! So many secrets I've longed to share! All I have needed Is someone there, To help me see a world I've never seen before - A love to open every door, To set me free, So I can soar! If someone like you Found someone like me, Then suddenly Nothing would ever be the same! There'd be a new way to live, A new life to love, If someone like you Found me! Oh, if someone like you Found someone like me, Then suddenly Nothing would ever be the same! My heart would take wing, And I'd feel so alive - If someone like you Loved me... Loved me... Loved me!...
ALIVE - Reprise [ Top ] HYDE: Animals trapped behind bars at the zoo Need to run rampant and free! Predators live on the prey they pursue! This time the predator's me! Lust, like a raging desire, Fills my whole soul with it's curse! Burning with primitive fire, Berserk and perverse! Tonight I'll plunder heaven blind, Steal from all the gods! Tonight I'll take from all mankind, Conquer all the odds! And I feel I'll live on forever, With Satan himself by my side! And I'll show the world That tonight and forever, The name to remember's The name Edward Hyde! What a feeling to be so alive! I have never seen me so alive! Such a feeling of evil inside - That's the feeling Of being Edward Hyde!!! ACT TWO

ONCE UPON A DREAM [ Top ] EMMA: When it's all began, We knew there'd be a price... Once upon a dream, I was lost in love's embrace. There I found a perfect place, Once upon a dream. Once there was a time, Like no other time before, Hope was still an open door, Once upon a dream. And I was unafraid, The dream was so exciting! But now I see it fade... And I am here alone! Once upon a dream, You were heaven-sent to me, Was it never meant to be? Was it just a dream? Could we begin again!... Once upon a dream.
OBSESSION [ Top ] JEKYLL: What streak of madness lies inside me? What is the truth my fears conceal? What evil force makes Edward Hyde of me? What darker side of me does he reveal? What is this strange obsession That's tearing me apart? Some strange, deranged expression Of what's in my heart? Am I the man that I appear to be? Or am I someone I don't know? Is there some monster drawing near me to me? Becoming clear to see? Will what I fear to be Be so?
IN HIS EYES [ Top ] EMMA: I sit and watch the rain, And see my tears run down the windowpane... LUCY: I sit and watch the sky. And I can hear it breathe a sign... EMMA: I think of him, How we were... LUCY: And when I think of him, Then I remember... LUCY/EMMA: Remember... EMMA: In his eyes I can see Where my heart longs to be! LUCY: In his eyes I see a gentle glow, And that's where I'll be safe, I know! EMMA: Safe in his arms, close to his heart... LUCY: But I don't know quite where to start... EMMA: By looking in his eyes, Will I see beyond tomorrow? LUCY: By looking in his eyes, Will I see beyond the sorrow That I feel? EMMA: Will his eyes reveal to me Promises or lies?

DANGEROUS GAME [ Top ] LUCY: I feel your fingers - Cold on my shoulder - Your chilling touch, As it runs down my spine - Watching your eyes As they invade my soul - Forbidden pleasures I'm afraid to make mine.

There's a beast at the door, An' he's wild an' he's free, But we don't let him in, 'Cause we don't want to see what is lurking Right behind the façade!
THE WAY BACK [ Top ] JEKYLL: Somehow I have to get back To the place where my journey started, Find the course I charted, When I first departed! Somehow I have to hang on To the vision that first inspired me, To the hope that fired me, When the world admired me! I'll find a way back to the higher ground, And see the view I saw before! I'll search the world Until the answer's found - Turn my despair around Forevermore! Somehow I've got to rebuild All the dreams that the winds have scattered, From what fate has shattered - I'll retrieve what mattered! Somehow I've got to go on, Till the evil has been defeated - Till my works completed - I will not be cheated! God, you must help me carry on! When it seems all hopes has gone, I have got to carry on!
A NEW LIFE [ Top ] LUCY: A New Life - What I wouldn't give To have a new life! One thing I have learned As I go through life: Nothing is for free Along the way! A new start - That's the thing I need, To give me new heart - Half a chance in life To find a new part, Just a simple role That I can play. A new hope - Something to convince me To renew hope! A new day, Bright enough To help me find my way! A new chance - One that maybe has A touch of romance. Where can it be, The chance for me? A new dream - I have one I know That very few dream! I would like to see That overdue dream - Even though It never may come true! A new love - Though I know there's no Such thing as true love - Even so, Although I never knew love, Still I feel that One dream is my due! A new world - This one thing I want To ask of you, world - Once! - Before it's time To say adieu, world! One sweet chance to Prove the cynics wrong! A new life - More and more, I'm sure, As I go through life, Just to play the game -, And to pursue life - Just to share its pleasures, And belong! - That's what I've been here for, All along! Each day's A brand new life!
CONFRONTATION [ Top ] JEKYLL: Lost in the darkness, Silence surrounds you. Once there was morning, Now endless night. I will find the answer. I'll never desert you - I promise you this - Till the day that I... HYDE: Do you really think That I would ever let you go? Do you think I'd ever set you free? If you do, I'm sad to say, It simply isn't so. You will never get away from me! JEKYLL: All that you are Is a face in the mirror! I close my eyes and you'll disappear! HYDE: I'm what you face When you face in the mirror! Long as you live, I will still be here! JEKYLL: All that you are Is the end of a nightmare! All that you are is a dying scream! After tonight, I shall end this demon dream! HYDE: This is not a dream, my friend - And it will never end! This one is the nightmare that goes on! Hyde is here to stay, No matter what you may pretend - And I'll flourish, long after you're gone! JEKYLL: Soon you will die, And my silence will hide you! You cannot choose but to lose control. HYDE: You can't control me! I live deep inside you! Each day you'll feel me devour your soul! JEKYLL: I don't need to survive, As you need me! I'll become whole As you dance with death!
