When they say "daughter" they're using it in the sense that he is a Bishop and a member of the clergy. He's her Father more than she's his actual biologic daughter. In fact, if I remember correctly, the woman in question is a prostitute. More just shows how the media (especially of the era) can be remarkably blind or willfully ignorant when it comes to the rich and powerful.
You know how I'd like to see this performed? to have the chorus tone be more calm like 'oh this is probably just a rumor' in the beginning then as more ppl are murdered they start to freak out and their singing becomes more tense like "holy shit ppl are actually dying, but hopefully the police will handle it right?" then towards the end they just start paniking and freaked and are like "OMFG WE"RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!!" it kinda does that here but I'd like to see it fled out more
The way this went down at my school play was a little different: 1. the group sang the first part of the song 2. Hyde came in and snapped the General's neck 3. More singing 4. Jekyll appears to get some supplies, and gets snappy with his servant, implying to her that things are not going well for him 5. More singing 6. Three ladies run into Hyde. One of them, like a dick, leaves the other two girls behind(even pushing them towards him to distract him), one of whom is beaten to death, the other being strangled. 7. Even more singing 8. Lady takes to Emma's father(Forgot his name) about leaving London, implying that she did all she could to protect the other girls(Liar!) She starts to walk off, and then Hyde, from offstage, gives his "Bad news from god" line, and then, when the girl is close to the edge of the stage, knocks her off her feet and drags her off stage(That was hilarious to watch) 9. Last bit of singing
The new version of this musical is so beautifully done! I loved it! The set is amazing, the acting is great and the singing is phenomenal! When it goes to Broadway, I will drive myself there just to see it again!
"Friend's take what comfort that you can from us" Whatever version of this song you listen to, someone with an amazing voice has this line, I love it so! X3
The orchestra was in the wings off stage on a 2nd floor... you could see them from the right side of the house. there was a screen in front of the stage for the actors to see conductor and another for the conductor in the back you could also see from the audience. Neat to watch.
To be fair, The Hoff did a great job at this part! I don't like him as an actor but i will give credit where credit is do and he played his part very well
@musicalperson17 The umbrella thing: The setting is London, England. One characteristic of the English land is that it rains. A lot. Like, almost-every-day a lot. So, the umbrellas not only would have meant the rain, but I can see some sort of symbolism that they are trying to protect themselves from the murderer. At least, that's my take on it. And BTW: I LOVE that line, it's just so random! This is a pretty dark musical - and song - so they probably wanted to lighten the scene a bit.
Yes. He was the last Broadway actor for Jekyll & Hyde. He had extensive experience and he made his Hyde creepy! Like popping out of nowhere at the end of the song "Murder, Murder" and showing his face at the horrifying closing moment of Act I-When Hyde kills his first victim, the Bishop of Basingstoke, and then after beating him up with his swordstick with a heavy pewter knob, Hyde puts the Bishop's body on fire! The murder of the Bishop is better than all the other murders!
I love this version of this song. Even though I don't care for Hoff's Jekyll, his Hyde is awesome! The only thing I don't really like is the choreography. I love it in the beginning when they have those umbrellas, but I detest it towards the end, when all they are doing is frantically running around, it seems. I wish the umbrellas would've stayed consistent. Simply my opinion.
I love the songs in this musical. There is just something about the music that is brilliant! I'm surprised it hasn't got more acclaim with songs like this one and facade.
The guy who sang the Friends take what comfort that you can from us" sounded like the same guy from the Original Broadway Cast Recording. I loved the choreography. All those ladies got bad luck for opening their umbrellas indoors. JK.
I love the part with Hyde and Teddy where they just walk down in a straight line together, look the oppisite way of each other, then when they look the other way and Teddy jumps, I found that part hilarious and probably the only reason I'm watching this on loop.
I just noticed that the one woman on the far right front in the "Murder, murder" chorus has a light blue umbrella. I have been thinking this whole time there was only one standout umbrella.
I saw Kevin Gray do this inpittsburgh today. He was excellent in the role of Jekyll/Hyde. However in their version, Archibald tried to be intimidating by whipping his hanky in Hyde's direction.
@twinklemoviestar The stick probably either shrinks like an accordion or is like one of those Child toy light sabers that shrink... sorry if I'm not very clear.
...For atmosphere? It's trying to set up that the area is dark, rainy, and depressing. It's also probably a way to incorporate some choreography. Though that would be funny if it was Mary Poppins. It would be like a mix between Mary Poppins and Sweeney Todd.
That's the Scottish pronunciation that Stevenson would have used. Most people are familiar with the English pronunciation, and considering the story takes place in London, that's probably okay.
Yes, but it was also pronounced 'Jee-kuhl' in the original 1931 film, and was created as a pun of sorts, namely, Jekyll rhyming with Seek, as in 'Hyde and Jek(yll)'. In addition, in the period the book was written and set, 1886, immigration was strong from the spike in the early 1800s, meaning a large amount of the population would have pronounced it as such.
Interesting. It would all depend on whether the character is English or Scottish. I haven't read it in a while, but is that ever clarified in the book?
Also, from a certain viewpoint, the name being pronounced 'jee-kuhl' makes sence even from an American standpoint, what with the odd spelling of the name 'kyll' and the y being treated as a vowel now and again.
Wait, was that one woman with the solo after the general's murder the same woman who played Meg in the Australian productions of Phantom of the Opera and Love Never Dies?
@AlexiaDark I guess we are going to have to agree to disagree, because I personally like the umbrella thing (I thought it was a very original idea) and that it wouldn't really be a good idea to make fun of Lucy's dream... I can definitely see where you're coming from, though. And I do thank you for disagreeing intelligently and respectably - it seems we dont' get that a lot nowadays.
Wait a second, after the general is killed and the lady does her solo is that the same actress who played Meg giry in the Australian version of love never dies? Yes or no?
One, They are explaining what's happening. Two, He's not. He just probably has to because that's what they have to do sometimes. Three, He directed this, I think. Four, That's the writers decison. Five, They're trying to. But he has really fancy ways to avoid being caught. and Six, Special machinery that is mostly used in Show-Biz. If you watched the show on stage or DVD or even TV, you would know why. So, now you know.
i'm actually rather surprised they haven't done that. I'd recon it'd probably do better than sweeny todd did just based on the fact that people have heard of jekyll before
OMG I JUST REALIZED THIS IS BASICALLY JACK THE RIPPER FROM LONDON! BECAUSE HE KILLED WOMEN!!! AND ITS SET IN THE RIGHT TIME PERIOD AS SWEENEY TODD AND SWEENEY TODD WAS ACTUALLY A LEGEND OF JACK THE RIPPER HIMSELF!😱
I love how there just standing there and nobody tries to run after Hyde, and then theyre all like "Why cant we catch him?" XD
I don't think the Hoff deserves all the hate. He's a bit cheesy as Jekyll, but I think he's appropriately understated and chilling as Hyde.
yeah, exactly. HE did buthered some of the songs. But he was great
Yeah, I didn't really like his transformation that much. Too much sliding on the floor.
and "This is the moment" and "Confrontation" (I mean, I know Confrotation IS an agitated song, but he over did it )
He did nail Hyde
"Seen walking with his daughter..." Yeah riggghhht. Such an amazing ensemble number!!
When they say "daughter" they're using it in the sense that he is a Bishop and a member of the clergy. He's her Father more than she's his actual biologic daughter. In fact, if I remember correctly, the woman in question is a prostitute. More just shows how the media (especially of the era) can be remarkably blind or willfully ignorant when it comes to the rich and powerful.
@@nathanjohnson1853 I think OP knows this. The comment was sarcastic.
omg i got chills the male bishoop is amzing...
Jekyll & Hyde drinking game. Every time they say "Murder" in this song, take a shot.
Dangerous. I like it.
NOTE: Actually trying to play this game may lead to your own Murder, Murder
Sounds like a...
Dangerous game.
"to kill outside St. Paul's requires a lot of balls"
"he hates the upperclass, he must be on his ass"
Funniest lyrics ever!! :D
I think the Ensemble is amazing :) The exchange between the female and male chorus was incredible to listen to!
You know how I'd like to see this performed? to have the chorus tone be more calm like 'oh this is probably just a rumor' in the beginning then as more ppl are murdered they start to freak out and their singing becomes more tense like "holy shit ppl are actually dying, but hopefully the police will handle it right?" then towards the end they just start paniking and freaked and are like "OMFG WE"RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!!" it kinda does that here but I'd like to see it fled out more
4:30 is my favorite killing(s) of the entire play. "Please... that's an awfully hard word for you to pronounce" Absolutely brilliant.
The way this went down at my school play was a little different:
1. the group sang the first part of the song
2. Hyde came in and snapped the General's neck
3. More singing
4. Jekyll appears to get some supplies, and gets snappy with his servant, implying to her that things are not going well for him

9. Last bit of singing
6:42 Bad news from God Teddy
i would LOVE to play Jekyll/Hyde!! he reminds me of.....ME!!!!
I’m concerned
"To kill outside St Pauls, requires a lot of balls." Best line.
"Well Well Well....If it isn't Faith! Hope! And Charity!" hahaa. XD
"Listen. Bad news from Guarded Teddy." Best line in the whole show.
I thought it was "Bad news from God, Teddy." which is supposed to correlate to Teddy's conversation with the other characters.
@@ag4every1 it is
終於找到這首了!!
打從國一第一次聽來就最愛這一首!!ˇˇ
好聽~(滿足ing)
15 people ordered a decent claret., and didn't get a decent claret
I love this song. I was in this play in 2010 and loved it! David is awesome!
This is the best version I have found so far.
"Step beside, you...you...creature." XD I find this scene really funny. :)
My school is doing this play. We're going to perform it in January with the school band and all. It's going to be rad.
I know this comment is 10 years old, but...how it went? Did you make good memories?
@@Trissana281 Haha. It’s was great! So many good memories. It was the biggest production I’ve ever been in. We all had a lot of fun.
I love the ending with Hyde in the back!!! amazing acting in this song!!
I wish we had more of this version in our high school production.
The new version of this musical is so beautifully done! I loved it! The set is amazing, the acting is great and the singing is phenomenal! When it goes to Broadway, I will drive myself there just to see it again!
"Friend's take what comfort that you can from us" Whatever version of this song you listen to, someone with an amazing voice has this line, I love it so! X3

I adore this music and the story! Hoff kicks ass as Hyde!!
To be fair, The Hoff did a great job at this part! I don't like him as an actor but i will give credit where credit is do and he played his part very well
BEST VERSION I'VE SEEN
amazing! exactly what i expected! This musical has so many hard songs. This is one of the hardest! Loves it! A+

lol
Hyde just pops up in the end out of nowhere
"Step aside you-you..... creature." haha he reminds me of raoul but looks like the duke from Moulin Rouge :)
I did this musical 2 years ago. It one one of the most amazing theatrical experiences of my life, I loved it :)
It's was David Hasselhoff who played Jekyll and Hyde, not Johnny Depp
I love this version of this song. Even though I don't care for Hoff's Jekyll, his Hyde is awesome! The only thing I don't really like is the choreography. I love it in the beginning when they have those umbrellas, but I detest it towards the end, when all they are doing is frantically running around, it seems.

Ohhh, my god, Hoff is so amazing in this part! How terribly creepy~!
I love the songs in this musical. There is just something about the music that is brilliant! I'm surprised it hasn't got more acclaim with songs like this one and facade.
I like how he pokes his shoulder XD
The guy who sang the Friends take what comfort that you can from us" sounded like the same guy from the Original Broadway Cast Recording. I loved the choreography. All those ladies got bad luck for opening their umbrellas indoors. JK.
This musical is a masterpiece
I love the bright red floor. It's such a great contrast!
it does seem like Burton's kind of project doesn't it?
Best ensemble number EVER.
I love the part with Hyde and Teddy where they just walk down in a straight line together, look the oppisite way of each other, then when they look the other way and Teddy jumps, I found that part hilarious and probably the only reason I'm watching this on loop.
Sleight of hand on Hyde's part with that umbrella. Hah, hah.
my schools doing this play. i love this song,
im playing this musical in marching band, its fun
I am 13 and I am going to see this next month!!!
I just noticed that the one woman on the far right front in the "Murder, murder" chorus has a light blue umbrella. I have been thinking this whole time there was only one standout umbrella.
they opened their umbrellas... WHEN IT WAS SNOWING ON MY SCREEN!!!
I saw Kevin Gray do this inpittsburgh today. He was excellent in the role of Jekyll/Hyde. However in their version, Archibald tried to be intimidating by whipping his hanky in Hyde's direction.
im so excited to perform this next January. Im gonna be that exact character Bisset. :P
I love this song.
in this scene for my school musicalllll cant wait!!!!
7:49 The Hoff is crazy... :3
i play him in my play xD everytime we rehearse it everyone laughs their asses off cuz it's so funny
duuuude our band did a marching show featuring this song
oh the memories.
There oughtta be a cinema version of this musical.
I got distracted by outside my window and said "ish a bird" exactly like that
i'm here cuz im doing research, i play Jekyll/ Hyde in my school musical :)
I have to say this version is 100x better than the one in the 2012 version. That was one part of the new play that I distinctly didn't like.
@twinklemoviestar The stick probably either shrinks like an accordion or is like one of those Child toy light sabers that shrink... sorry if I'm not very clear.
I love that look on the newsboy's face!
RCHS Marching band did Jekyll & Hyde for marching season they did so well with this number
...For atmosphere? It's trying to set up that the area is dark, rainy, and depressing. It's also probably a way to incorporate some choreography.
Though that would be funny if it was Mary Poppins. It would be like a mix between Mary Poppins and Sweeney Todd.
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is about contrast.
I had heard of sweeney before tim made the movie.
Nobody never seems to remember Jekyll is pronounced 'Jee-kuhl'
That's the Scottish pronunciation that Stevenson would have used. Most people are familiar with the English pronunciation, and considering the story takes place in London, that's probably okay.
Yes, but it was also pronounced 'Jee-kuhl' in the original 1931 film, and was created as a pun of sorts, namely, Jekyll rhyming with Seek, as in 'Hyde and Jek(yll)'.

Interesting. It would all depend on whether the character is English or Scottish. I haven't read it in a while, but is that ever clarified in the book?
I don't recall..I doubt it though. However, there is this en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gertrude_Jekyll
Also, from a certain viewpoint, the name being pronounced 'jee-kuhl' makes sence even from an American standpoint, what with the odd spelling of the name 'kyll' and the y being treated as a vowel now and again.
I love the mass service especially Requiem Aeternam
Wait, was that one woman with the solo after the general's murder the same woman who played Meg in the Australian productions of Phantom of the Opera and Love Never Dies?
@PeytonMarieThompson Yup. that's the way we are performing it at our high school
@AlexiaDark I guess we are going to have to agree to disagree, because I personally like the umbrella thing (I thought it was a very original idea) and that it wouldn't really be a good idea to make fun of Lucy's dream... I can definitely see where you're coming from, though.
And I do thank you for disagreeing intelligently and respectably - it seems we dont' get that a lot nowadays.
Four people saw this, and had a stroke from the awesomeness and misclicked, or they hate Hoff
This song is catchy!!!
WITH THIS MR MYDE´S OUTFIS DAVID LOOKS WILDLY SENSUAL AND HANDSOME MAN, SPECIALY IS TOO HOT WHEN HE KILLS BESSY GRRRRRRR!!!
I love how they just...don't see him AT ALL. *snort*
beautiful song
I understand the psychology of color with the red umbrella but i'm not quite sure that blue one was meant to be there........
Wait a second, after the general is killed and the lady does her solo is that the same actress who played Meg giry in the Australian version of love never dies? Yes or no?
haha when i saw the musical i could not stop laughing!! :)
you must have quite the exquisit resume for your acting career please share with us which broadway shows you've been in
Whaddya know, we're doing this in band as well.
Cool, same here!
Title; Hyde
Director: Tim Burton.
Jekyll/Hyde; Johnny Depp.
Equals PROFIT.
0.0 They opened umbrellas indoors
I only wished that they filmed this with Robert Cuccioli, then I would have been a happy camper.
One, They are explaining what's happening.
Two, He's not. He just probably has to because that's what they have to do sometimes.
Three, He directed this, I think.
Four, That's the writers decison.
Five, They're trying to. But he has really fancy ways to avoid being caught.
and Six, Special machinery that is mostly used in Show-Biz. If you watched the show on stage or DVD or even TV, you would know why.
So, now you know.
Bloody murder in the night
2:35 Jag den Mörder hinfort? I thought it was english XD A great song I have no Idea why I like it so much =D
i'm actually rather surprised they haven't done that. I'd recon it'd probably do better than sweeny todd did just based on the fact that people have heard of jekyll before
@DreamMyMusic My camp is putting on an amazing production of this and I have the Priest's solo it is so epic to sing.
OMG I JUST REALIZED THIS IS BASICALLY JACK THE RIPPER FROM LONDON! BECAUSE HE KILLED WOMEN!!! AND ITS SET IN THE RIGHT TIME PERIOD AS SWEENEY TODD AND SWEENEY TODD WAS ACTUALLY A LEGEND OF JACK THE RIPPER HIMSELF!😱
This is three years late but if you never found out-! The original book was publish a year before Jack the Ripper happened!!!
Young Kelli O'Hara is in here
Turn on Closed Captioning and go to 'transcribe audio' lol
@WiggleTick Good. Poor person (Chorus member) and in May.
I used to think this was the most amazing thing, but now I watch it again and feel like its a mediocre performance hiding behind amazing effects. :P
It's being made into a movie!! :D Check out the website. WOO!
Just saying. Our local production used newspapers. I thought it made more sense.
. . .this should be made xD
