Funny / Jekyll & Hyde

Go To

  • At their engagement party, Jekyll and Emma discuss unbearably snooty society matron Lady Beaconsfield:
    Jekyll: Is there a Lord Beaconsfield?
    Emma: He died thirty years ago.
    Jekyll: Sensible man.
  • Act II opens with Hyde killing the board members in creative ways and the Londoners gossiping about it, culminating in a surefire way to pin down Hyde—-murdering him. It's even worse in productions where their prayer over Mass is "Take him and leave us lot here."
  • Hyde's black humor during "Murder, Murder."
    Hyde: Bad news from God, Teddy!
  • Just after the first transformation, Hyde wanders over to Jekyll's diary and writes in it.
    Hyde (scrawling in the notebook): Midnight. Unexpected development.
  • "In His Eyes," while serious, has a funny juxtaposition in the middle.
    Lisa: If I'm wise, I will walk away, and gladly...
    Lucy: But, sadly, I'm not wise!
  • The sheer Crossing the Line Twice of the background characters' callousness, bluntness, and over the top rudeness, as shown in "Facade", "Bitch, Bitch, Bitch" and "Murder, Murder" can give some quite a surprising laugh considering the latter is about them all panicking over a serial killer.
