Jerry Cruncher - Narrator
Jerry Cruncher. An English working class commoner, who ran errands for Tellson's Bank by day and by night dug up bodies and sold them to doctors for scientific experiments. He travelled back and forth between the cities of London and Paris and was in the middle of everyone's lives, which is why he knew so much about all these people, these two cities and this great story of Love and Revolution.​
THINK FAST
(ERNEST DEFARGE)
IT WAS THE BEST OF TIMES, IT WAS THE WORST
NO ONE COULD FIND A WAY TOO MAKE THINGS WORK
PARIS IS PERISHING, HUNGRY AND HURT
THEY TAX US TO POVERTY, WILL WE EVER LEARN.
(CHORUS)
THINK FAST
MAKE IT LAST
WE'RE THE ONES THAT CHOOSE
THINK BACK
TO THE PAST
WE'RE THE ONES
THAT LOSE

A STORY OF GREAT LOVE
Two men fall in love with the same beautiful woman. One of them makes the ultimate sacrifice and gives up his life to save the life of the other, all in the name of love.
IN THE EYES OF LOVE
(LUCY MANETTE)
YOU AND I WILL NOT BE BROKEN
WE WERE BORN TWO OF A KIND
ABOVE THE CLOUDS THERE IS A RAINBOW
AND NOW OUR LOVE WILL CLEAR THE SKIES
(CHARLES DARNAY)
IN THE SHADOW OF A DREAM I SAW YOUR FACE
YOU WERE CLOSE TO ME BUT THEN YOU DRIFTED FAR AWAY
AND EVERYTHING AROUND ME DISAPPEARED INTO A SEA
AND AS I GASPED FOR AIR I WOKE AND YOU WERE NEXT TO ME
(CHARLES DARNAY & LUCY MANETTE)
IN THE EYES OF LOVE
I'VE NEVER LOVED YOU MORE
NO ONE ELSE CAN MAKE ME FEEL
THE WAY I FEEL WHEN YOU'RE WITH ME
IN THE EYES OF LOVE
I'VE NEVER BEEN SO SURE
YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE FOR ME
CAUSE NO ONE ELSE CAN MAKE ME FEEL
FEEL THIS WAY

(SYDNEY CARTON JOINS IN LAST CHORUS)

A STORY OF REVOLUTION
A young girl grows up intent of killing the man who killed her sister and burns down Paris in a blind lust for revenge that eventually takes her own life and the lives of everyone around her.

(DRUM SOLO UNDERSCORE)
STAND UP
(MADAME DEFARGE)
TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AROUND
THERE IS NO ROOM TO BREATH
WE TURN ANOTHER REVOLUTION
STEP OUTSIDE ARE YOU WHERE YOU WANT TO BE
OR ARE YOU LOST IN THEIR ILLUSIONS
​
(CHORUS)
STAND UP
WE'VE GOT TO STAND UP TO IT
DON'T LET
CHANGE BRING US DOWN
STAND UP
WE'VE GOT TO STAND UP TO IT
DON'T LET THEM PUSH US AROUND...NO!
