Me too.

I know, it reminds me of this trope called "truth in television": Imagine a group of people that is labeled "criminally insane" and you start to wonder if they'll be alright since they are people too, they just have something broken inside them that no amount of any type of therapy can fix. Now, imagine them fighting themselves, (arguing with their own reflections and not for practice) almost as if they're fighting their own demons in a literal term. I'm sure if anyone knows about this, but this comedian/tv sitcom actor named Christopher Titus has been through a LOT during his younger years while visiting his mom in a mental hospital due to her being a "manic-depressive, schizophrenic." If this term needs an example, imagine a young woman (early to mid 20s) with signs of PMS despite not being pregnant, along with more than one voice in her head and she starts communicating with them. And now imagine that fore-mentioned woman killed herself after finding out the truth about so much heartbreak that she thought she put in her family. That actually happened to Christopher's mom (I got the source from his stand up comedies and his tv show that was cancelled called "Titus").

It's even funnier when you take the original book into account. Jekyll and Hyde collaborated pretty much to the very end, technically they didn't even want to be separated, because Hyde knew he needs Jekyll in order to hide, and Jekyll wasn't exactly overjoyed to give up the fun he had every time he turned into Hyde. Plus in the book, they were never truly separate. Yes, Hyde was Jekyll's dark side, but Jekyll himself recognised that Edward's traits are indeed his own traits, and that Edward's desires are his own too. They were truly the same, the only difference was that Jekyll hid the monster inside of him, whereas Hyde embraced it.

@@monochromedream-eatingbaku Yup, literally all the formula did was transform his body, which allowed him to (fully consciously) act on all his base urges without fear of repercussions. Think of it like an evil secret identity :D

@@gobalbucs Yeah! I wasn't sure if that was the author's intent though, so I wrote my comment still talking about them more or less as at least semi-separate entities. I too think that it just transformed his body though. Not sure if he meant it that way, all I know about the guy is that he allegedly wrote the story after his friend(?) raped someone.

I've never heard it because it's usually Jekyll and Hyde every time I discuss the book with anyone or mention it.

Or

let me humour you. "Hyde's completely right."

Hardly anyone even knows Jekyll's first name. They only know "Dr. Jekyll" and "Mr. Hyde."

Henry Jekyll and Edward Hyde.

YES OMG

I- SIR-

i love this meme lol

I would love a bagel right now

I dont know why but even after seven months, the concept of Hyde sarcastically saying splendid kills me

Jekyll: *"l o i t e r i n g"*

Hyde is just laying on his side in jekyll's head resting his head on a fist giving a annoyed look that's says "this dumbass is clumsy"

I can't tell if you were intentionally referencing the "I could've dropped my croissant" vine or not but either way i am d y i n g over this

I could see Hyde just leaning over Jekyll shoulder mocking him every time he messes up. “Oh is that my fault too?”

wow... that's pretty dark tp think about. You give in to your temtations and simply slap a silly line to avois the consiquenses.... damn...that's got me thinking.

Wow, thats super deep...

Nah, POTO is still my fave.

True

Yesss

I agree and it saddens me every time I hear it but I keep replaying it.

Well that's pretty much what happened in the book: Jekyll lost control and Hyde took over

I see it that way too, like Jekyll thinks he's in charge of the conversation at the beginning but Hyde slowly takes that until at the end when Jekyll finally tells Hyde off. It's really neat

Totally. Have actually performed this, and it definitely feels this way. My favourite song from any musical to this day.

This keeps popping back up in my notifications, but, seriously, this song is the point at which Jekyll has lost his battle.It's also my favourite piece to perform.

That’s the magic of Anthony warlow 😉

Not many people can scream NOOOOO like 3:16 or 3:21 :)

pov character's name is utterson. he's really freaking boring, but he's cool in my book

@@possums154 Yes, he´s the main character, but not more than a spectator. He is meant to be the point of view so the mistery of Jekyll can be kept until the very end, which was the plot twist that pop culture ruined. I wonder if people in eastern cultures could read this and actually be surprised, since I´m pretty sure most of countries there don´t teach western literature...

Huh. I didnt know that. Im kind of intrested in reading the book.

The original story was just a dream the author had during a fever, he woke up during the first transformation segment

@@tarniabook3076 I'm French so from a Western culture and I knew Hyde and Jekyll were the same person way before reading the book so even in Western culture you're spoiled before reading the book, same as the Darth Vador plot twist which only surprised people the first time it was seen.

this is me right now but the diets of the industrial revolution can wait :)

Caleb Rosengard Hahaha! That's a crazy coincidence :P It is a really good show. I just need to sit down and watch the whole thing lol Did you see my cover of this song, btw??

u make an outstanding point this song is extremely intense

It makes you wonder: are we all our own Jekyll and Hyde? We act one way around our families and friends but we act completely different around others. So in a way we are all Jekyll and Hyde and sometimes our Hydes become our Jekyll so we can never tell the difference

Yas ty the story and voices, the diaolage of tragedy that has you resisting as you feel the pain of Jekyll and evil from Hyde as they dance together in this tale.

Night Star in the book Dr Jekyll injects himself so he can do evil without feeling bad but I have to admit I like the musicals version better

Jekyll: Really?

No. He CAN. That's the point.

That must be awkward.

Totally me

It sounds pretty to me

That’s pretty much what happens. I know from experience. 😂

Its actually supposed to be one person singing both parts!

Is it strange that Disney seems to be the only one to understand this concept?

How was Hyde not completly evil? I've read it before.

musicals have a need to be super hella over dramatized. its simply just how musicals are meant to be that Hyde was shown as hella evil. though even in the musical Jekyll wasn’t all that good truthfully despite his intent.

Well that doesn't really makes sense, isn't the whole point of this is Jekyll created some sort of serum that separated the good and evil of a man (except it went horribly wrong), how does the story work if the plot was Hyde wasnt completely evil

Suki ???? As someone who studied the book for GCSEs the point the book was trying to make was that everyone had inner demons that can’t be tamed, some people just hide it better than others, however it’s actually funny that the book was basically mocking the upper classes for thinking high and mighty when most “gentlemen” would be seen around bad areas like Soho to sleep with others and maybe even murder, as an escape from all the rules and etiquette of Victorian society.

It’s Andy warlow, for the information. His cover of the entire J&H play is out there on youtube- just listen to it. I swear you won’t regret it

Saaame

David fucking Hasselhoff. We talked about Jekyll and Hyde in school, and our teacher let us listen to this long before we watched the entire show with D. H. I was embarrassed for him and furious about this casting through and through, it was so terrible, *especially* confrontation! Fuck me, if you need to throw your hair in your face, make weird movements with your fingers, switch sides *and* change the lights to portray whether you are Jekyll our Hyde, you are not singing the song right. Man it's been years but I'm still so resentful, I didn't even realize... And I'm German, so apparently I'm supposed to love this man (biggest cliche bs ever, btw, I know noone who actually likes him), but watching this I just felt tempted to off the Hoff.

+Jayne Shields I think there are more errors than that, but at least this man sings clearly enough for you to hear how it's supposed to be sung. :)

Oh x3 Thanks for clearing that up!

Jayne Shields I'm drunk, lazy and trying to sing along to this thing, so forgive the obscurity of my first response. :p ...There are words on the lyrics screen that are added that the dude doesn't say and there are words he does say but aren't on the lyrics screen. At least they gave it a better shot than most and got the timing right. x3

Yeah, I just discovered this yesterday and now I've made a LOT of fanart

@@f1zzyl3m0n i made a Gatchalife video for it about 30 minutes after I heard it for the first time lol

How was it?

Exactly

If Jekyll was female and Hyde was still a guy, I can imagine that, as he sings that part starting with " I live inside you forever..." with Jekyll, Hyde forces the female Jekyll into a little passion dance.

Desiderio Díaz Canseco Well he seemed to find a permanent solution in the story. The real question is if you could do the same if you had a Hyde in your soul.
