Murder, Murder" – Townsfolk, General Lord Glossop, Hyde, Simon Stride, Jekyll, Sir Archibald Proops, Lady Beaconsfield, Lord Savage, Sir Danvers, Emma The majority of the show's story has not changed from production to production, but many of the songs have been altered, cut or replaced since the show debuted.The Artifact: Simon Stride had a bigger part in the concept albums; he vowed revenge on Jekyll for stealing Lisa, was revealed as the benefactor of the Dregs, got his own song explaining his philosophy, sabotaged Jekyll's chemicals, and planted Jekyll's letter to Lucy for Lisa to find before being killed at the wedding as Hyde revealed his crimes. In most versions he shows up in one of the first scenes to imply having feelings for Emma, rejects Jekyll's experiment with the governors, and then vanishes completely until the last scene, where he's killed. Some versions reinstate his larger role.

Last Girl Wins: Lisa/Emma used to date Simon before falling for Jekyll, making it an example of last guy wins. The development of Jekyll & Hyde the Musical was a long and complex process. Wildhorn and Bricusse worked on the show for years, refining the story and the music. They made several changes to the show before it made its Broadway debut, including adding new songs and tweaking the storyline. For the Broadway production only, "Streak of Madness" was shortened and re-titled "Obsession"; it was re-instated in full for all subsequent productions.Hotter and Sexier: "A Dangerous Game" has always had sexual undertones, but concert tour album Jekyll & Hyde Resurrection adds a heavy R&B beat. The 2012 version upon which the Broadway Revival is based cranks it even further. The subtext becomes text in the 2013 Revival, complete with Bondage Is Bad.
