Plays/Musicals that Portray Evil Essay

Hey everyone. I am writing an Essay for my English class on Evil. Let me explain my paper and maybe some people can help me ... I hope.

Stephen King describes two different evils in his book Danse Macabre. Outside Evil: Evil that is forced upon a character(s) by an outside force/source. And Inside evil: Evil that is forced upon by inside a characters mind... ie. Jekyll and Hyde.

My question for you guys is ... can you guys name some musicals that I can use as sources for my essay that involve Outside and Inside Evil, how it is used in the show ... and information on the villian, which would be the source of Evil.

My ideas so far:

Jekyll & Hyde - Inside Evil; Villian-Hyde

Beauty and the Beast - Outside Evil; Villian-Gaston*
*I am going to talk about how it is thought that the Beast is the villian but stereotypes of ugly=evil and good looking=good guy.

Thouroughly Modern Millie - Outside Evil; Meers. --Can someone explain how she is evil, I can't find the script anywhere!

Wicked/Wizard of Oz - Going to talk about the Wicked Witch of the West/Elphaba and the Wizard and Morrible from both stories.

Would Judas be a villian in Godspell? I know nothing about Jesus Christ Superstar ...

How about Cats ... would that include Outside evil because of the other cats tormenting Grizabella?

Any other ideas? Please help!

The most fascinating show that deals with "evil", perception, and perspective is INTO THE WOODS.

Ohhh!! I never thought of using Cabaret even though I knew that the Nazis are involved. I never thought of that...

Sound of Music? That would include Nazis ... traitors ... Spys ...

You might also use Sweeney Todd as an example of both outside (being sent away for a crime he didn't commit) and inside (his slow descent into madness and vengeance).
