#Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Musical

More Jekyll and Hyde cause why not

Lisa: Darling… you’ve been… more vigilant lately. Is everything okay? Is… Is it Hyde?

Jekyll, not having moved from his position on the couch, reading a book: This book is due back to the library tomorrow afternoon, and I am almost done with it. I cannot allow Hyde to take over and read it, because I know for sure that he will spoil it.

Hyde, chilling out in the Mind Space: Oh shit, would I do that?

I'm sorry to say but Anthony Warlow as Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is PEAK. That man has everything you can ask for when it comes to dual characters. Transformation alone proves this and I'll never be able to watch any other iteration of the musical that doesn't have him.

Did I just now (February 29, 2024) find the Jekyll and Hyde musical + soundtrack and have now been listening to Song 34, “Confrontation” for over 4,749,390 hours- nonstop?

Yes.

Did I also make my own art of Dr. Henry Jekyll and Mister Edward Hyde?

Yes.

Am I now going to show them?

Also yes.

(Will be posting the headcanons for them soon)

[mourningskvader]

Babe, are you okay? This is the 15th time you’ve listened to Transformation from the Jekyll and Hyde musical in the last hour.

[disappointingcabbage]

Fellas, is it gay to live inside another man forever with Satan himself by my side?

[gabe-dasha]

Pretty sure this has been done before, but

been tinkering with this self-indulgent little thing for a lil' while now, but I think it's finally ready to release into the wild - I've seen a few takes on the concept of a Gravity Falls and Jekyll and Hyde crossover already - and with the nature of things there's likely going to be quite a bit of overlap - but nonetheless I wanted to try and make my own take on it. (I will note, though, that I was quite inspired by @maruchanart - especially in regards to Bill's design :])

Now - "The Strange Case of Dr Pines and Mr Cipher" is quite the mouthful (and no doubt quite the painful hashtag) - so from here onwards I will simply refer to this as

The Strange Case AU

I haven't worked out the details yet - and the details that I have are likely to change considering I originally based this off the musical and am now also reading the original novel but- As it stands -

This AU will be loosely based on a combination of the original Robert Louis Stevenson novel and the later Jekyll & Hyde musical. If I end up making any sort of animated content I will likely use the original 1994 recordings (they're gorgeous, can you blame me?), but I am most visually inspired by the 2001 production (the one with David Hasselhoff in it - I've already stolen his ponytail for my Ford lol)

Though the AU features the GF cast (those of them that were around in the 70s and 80s anyway), it will be set back in the early 1800s like the original story. We'll sort out the time anomalies as they arise - I don't want to think about it too hard right now I imagine there might be some shifts to a couple family trees though...

The roles of Jekyll and Hyde will - understandably - be played by Dr. Stanford Pines and Mr. William Lucipher

Stanford's character remains mostly the same - he is still a brilliant scientist, curious about the strange and a workaholic to the core - but he leans more towards the egotistic (there's a lot more of his "Why didn't Rudolph use his red-hot nose to burn his oppressor's workshop to the ground?" side showing through)

The main roles get a lot muddier from here - especially considering some of the character changes between the novel and the musical - but Fiddleford mainly plays a joint role of Lanyon and Emma, with some Utterson thrown in where suitable (and potentially a bit of Lucy too--see I told you it gets muddy real quick). A brilliant mind for mechanics and mathematics, but also a mind prone to paranoia. He is in perpetual conflict over his feelings about Stanford's experiment and his feelings about Stanford himself.

Stanley mostly replaces Utterson from either version of the story, an likely whatever parts of Lanyon that can't taken over by Fidds. After getting disowned - and lacking his twin's much higher social reputation - he ends up working at a factory.

Feel free to ask about more details (might get me to finish the artworks faster lol) or make your own suggestions/speculations! :3
