Line 40:
* [[Driven to Suicide]]: Utterson was originally supposed to shoot Jekyll which would have made this [[I Cannot Self-Terminate]], but in the final version Utterson balks, forcing Jekyll to run himself onto Utterson's drawn swordstick. Also see...
* [[Dying As Yourself]]
* [[The Eleven O 'Clock Number]]: "Confrontation".
* [[Fighting From the Inside]]/[["I Know You're in There Somewhere" Fight]] - the ending.
* [[Follow the Leader]]: It probably wasn't written as an answer to [[Andrew Lloyd Webber]]'s ''[[The Phantom of the Opera]]'' but that show's popularity, combined with its unavailability to theater companies, undoubtedly helped this horror-romance musical get the attention it did and as many productions as it has. It's the show equivalent of [[The Poor Mans Substitute]].
Line 46:
* [[Hooker With a Heart of Gold]]: Lucy.
* [["I Am" Song]]: "Emma's Reasons", "Take Me As I Am" (Jekyll and Emma), "Alive!" (Hyde), the [[Cut Song]] "Girls Of The Night" (Lucy).
** "Alive!" also being a [["I Am Becoming" Song]].
* [[I Cannot Self-Terminate]]: Inverted. John finds he can't [[Mercy Kill]] Jekyll, forcing the latter to hurl himself on John's blade instead.
* [["I Want" Song]]: "This Is The Moment", "Someone Like You", "A New Life", Jekyll's [[Cut Song]] "I Need To Know".
Line 56:
* [[Male Gaze]]: In the DVD recording, there's a scene where Lucy is carried off stage and the camera angle seems to have a perfect view of seeing straight down her cleavage.
* [[Massive Multiplayer Ensemble Number]]: "Your Work And Nothing More" near the end of Act 1 where all the characters worry about Jekyll who has become a recluse.
* [[No -Holds -Barred Beatdown]]: Hyde vs the Bishop.
* [[Paper-Thin Disguise]]: In the Hasselhoff version at least, no one seems to recognize Jekyll from Hyde at all, and are shocked to witness his transformation, despite the fact that they look, sound, and dress identically, the only difference being sometimes Jekyll's hair isn't in his face, but not always.
* [[Pedophile Priest]]: The Bishop of Basingstoke.
* [[Politically -Correct History]]: Dr Jekyll has a [[Black Best Friend]]
* [[Selfcest]]: The cover of the David Hasselhoff DVD looks like Jekyll and Hyde are [http://www.amazon.com/Jekyll-Hyde-Musical-David-Hasselhoff/dp/B00005NKSV having an intimate moment].
* [[Shallow Love Interest]]: Emma doesn't seem to have much to her character beyond "Jekyll's Fiancée". Even Lucy, who is given much more time and focus only seems to exist as "Girl who likes Jekyll".
