Jekyll & Hyde - 35. The Wedding Reception

One more of these, from the Original Concept Recording of 1994, with the amazing Anthony Warlow as Jekyll/Hyde. Enjoy!

Lyrics:

Jekyll:
Mrs. Jekyll, may I have this dance?

Lisa:
Dr. Jekyll, you may have every dance!

Utterson:
Henry, what is it?

Jekyll:
Don't make a fuss. Terrible pain... get me out of here... need to breathe!

Utterson:
Oh my God!

Jekyll:
Oh God, what now?
Oh God, not now!
Help me somehow, please take the pain away!
Feel it fill me...
This will kill me!
Please God will me
Somehow to fight, I pray!
Oh God help me
God have mercy!
Don't let her see
Not on our wedding day!

Lisa:
Henry!?

Hyde:
There is no Henry. Only Hyde!

Stride:
Look as this monster, Lisa!

Hyde:
And what would you have done with her, Stride?
Put her in one of your Camden Town whore houses,
and rented her our a shilling a time?!

Stride:
Damn you, Jekyll! Enough!

Hyde:
Enough, indeed. End of game!
We seem to be married, my love. Ready for our bridal bed, are you?

Utterson:
Henry, stay back! Don't touch her! I beg you, stop... stop now.

Lisa:
Henry! Oh no, Henry!

Utterson:
Lisa, no! Stay back!

Lisa:
Henry. It's me! If this is you... show me!

Danvers:
No, stop him!

Hyde:
Stay! Or she dies!

Lisa:
Henry! I know you don't want to hurt me. I know you can hear me. Let me go!
Henry, please. For us. Let me go, please.

Jekyll:
Do it, John. I beg you! Set me free!

Utterson:
I can't, Henry.

Jekyll:
We promised. Remember?

Utterson:
Forgive me.

Lisa:
No! No!

Hyde/Jekyll:
Lisa... Lisa... Lisa...

Lisa:
Go to sleep, my tormented love!
