Jekyll & Hyde, The Phantom of the Opera, Les Miserables and The Life.
This song from Jekyll & Hyde is called 'Your Work - and Nothing More' (Music and lyrics by Frank Wildhorn). In all musicals, there are duets, but there are also quartets. Perhaps the most beautiful quartet that I have ever heard is this one.
Dr. Jekyll 'has his work' ...
His fiancée believes his 'work is a crime to be forgiven' ...
Her father cautions 'he's gone too far' ...
Lastly, his best friend, who has known him for so long, sees the 'pain in his eyes' ...
It starts out with Dr. Jekyll and his best friend singing, then his fiancée comes in, followed by her father. At the end, all four of these amazing singers come together.
I get the chills, goose-bumps all over, when I hear this song. The entire soundtrack is amazing.

Another great song is Façade ...
Man is not one man but two ...
At the end of the day they don't mean what they say, they don't say what they mean ... but the truth is -- that it's all a façade.
