Show Synopsis:
In the musical adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson's The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, the scientist Dr. Jekyll is interesting in experimenting with the concept of different men conflicting in the same physical body. He injects himself with a formula that changes him from a human man to the superhuman homicidal monster, Mr. Hyde. Jekyll cannot remember what he does as Mr. Hyde, which causes questions and sticky situations as he tries to balance his own engagement to Emma Carew and becomes attracted to the famous prostitute Lucy Harris as Hyde. When Lucy turns to Jekyll for help, she begins to fall in love with him, not knowing that he is also Hyde. The transformations begin to occur of their accord, and Jekyll's friends find that they are unable to help him with whatever his trouble is. Hyde kills Lucy and seems to regain control for awhile, until the day he is to wed Lucy. He transforms into Hyde in the middle of the ceremony and gains enough control to kill himself without hurting Emma.

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 a truth that cannot be denied.
It's the feeling of being Edward Hyde.
Animals trapped behind bars in the zoo.
Need to run rampant and free...
Predators live by the prey they pursue.
This time the predators 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
