My mom took me to a musical last night but didn't told me what it is,but she said "You can relate to the main character!!🥰" and I thought it was some quirky high school musical or smth but no its fucking Jekyll & Hyde.

Imagine if Henry Jekyll had an anime girl transformation sequence each time he turned into Hyde like Sailor Moon

there are a lot of things I could say about the jekyll and hyde musical but for one it is absolutely hilarious that carew doesn't die. the fucking game of telephone that happens with j&h adaptations is truly something else like yeah you know the guy who in the original novella showed up exclusively to be brutally murdered? oh he's fine. yeah. seven other people died but not him.

the difference between book jekyll and musical jekyll is so fascinating to me
because on one hand, jekyll being a Not Good person adds to the horror, the underlying feeling that hes manipulating everyone around him, trying to gain pity and trust from people to save his reputation, springs at the opportunity to carry out his most violent desires with no accountability. and yet in the end hes torn himself apart so horribly, no sense of self, only to forever be reduced to a whispered urban legend in the london streets about that mad scientist and the mysterious murders. and you cant help but feel bad for him.
but on the other hand, theres the musical, with jekyll as a genuinely good person who wants to help the world. he obviously still has some pride and ego (claiming he made it this far on his own despite his relationships with john, lisa, etc.,) but he doesnt feel like manipulative selfish man from the book. he feels like someone who's already been mostly isolated from society, told that his work will never amount to anything. you're rooting for him! but the story is the story, and he ends up having to be killed by his closest friend, on what was supposed to be the happiest day of his life. and he didnt get the luxury of dying a mystery. everyone saw what he was and what he turned into, and that everyone who ever doubted him was right: he turned out to just be a madman, and only utterson will know who he really was.
tl;dr: the book is a better horror. the musical is a better tragedy.

novella fans when the J&H adaptation actually has a story and it isnt just 3 hours of Utterson and his cousin harassing Hyde
