* Emma's entire situation is depressing, as she feels she can only be herself and free when with Jekyll, who had a double life she doesn't know about at all. It's even worse in earlier concepts, where Simon tried to dissuade her against marrying Jekyll, but she refused--her father and everyone else treated her like a girl, Henry made her happy, and choosing who to marry was the one freedom she insisted upon.

* "The Girls of the Night" details Nellie showing Lucy the reality of their lives, while Lucy is still hopeful for a way out. Some productions move it near the start of Lucy's introduction, making her arc even sadder.
-->'''Lucy:''' I have my hopes...\\
'''Nellie:''' I have a child, and children must be fed. Forget your hopes, or you will be misled. With the dawn they disappear...\\
'''Lucy:''' Then why am I still here?

* One song cut from the show was a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulj5o8aoOHw reprise]] of "Once Upon a Dream," sung by Jekyll after [[spoiler:Hyde kills Lucy]].
* The very beginning of "Confrontation," which either reprises "Lost in the Darkness" or "No one Must Ever Know." The former has Jekyll agonize over [[spoiler:Lucy's death]] and his own dire fate, while the latter has Jekyll muse on how the crimes Hyde committed will forever shadow him, whether he's a good man or a madman, and how there's a fine line between good and bad.

" No One Must Ever Know/The Way Back" has Jekyll vow to gain control of Hyde lest his work and name be ruined, culminating in a hopeful creed to rekindle the passion that originally drove him. While sad enough on its own, it's worse with the ending in mind, as [[spoiler:nothing stops Hyde except Jekyll's death]].

* Lucy's song "A New Life" is pretty depressing enough as it is, much more so when you know what's about to happen afterwards. In one production the Spider took the letter from Lucy and called her a whore directly before the song (which began with her sobbing).
