You've got to love the messes Gilbert characters get themselves into!

Let me know if anything needs to be changed for fixed, especially with the supposed songs once the other parts come in... Especially given that a lot of that should be done with one or more characters and I'm hopeless with keeping any sense of rhythm (even in chant).

Nicely done! Just a few PL notes:
Act 1:
~5:00 - Missing line "But bless me Alexis...".
~6:00 - Possible missing line? Women: "The eggs, the ham..." - I read this as intending all of the Women on stage, not just the women of the Chorus...but I could be mistaken.
~7:20 - Missing Tutti (All) lines: "Eat, drink and be gay..."
One minor, optional note - I don't think this particularly affects the meaning of the line, but you may want to correct it for consistency's sake:
4:53 - Text is Dr. Daly, rather than Mr. Daly
Act 2:
0:27 - Text is "united" rather than "untied"
~2:50 - Missing Ensemble lines: "She will tend him..."
~3:09 - As above. Missing Ensemble lines: "She will tend to him..."
~3:50 - Missing Recitative lines: "Alexis! Doubt me not..."
~5:29 - Missing Ensemble lines: "Some most extraordinary spell..."
Optional:
3:10 - Text is "this was to have been" rather than "this was meant to be"
Note to Todd (also to any relevant readers for this piece) - I think it goes without saying that this is a somewhat challenging text, given the "musical" sections / terms and whatnot. If my interpretation of who should be speaking which lines ever contradicts / clashes with what you think is best, I'm always open to feedback on my PL-ing
