[ROMEO] this ain't a song for the broken hearted No solemn prayer for the faith departed. And I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd You're gonna hear my voice when I shout it out loud [ENSEMBLE] Romeo! [ROMEO] It's my life Its now or never And I ain't gonna live forever I just wanna live while I'm alive Its my life My heart is like an open highway And I'm just gonna do it my way I just wanna live while I'm alive.

I just wanna live while I'm alive It's. My. Life [JULIET, SPOKEN] April, I'm engaged, again! It's so much is happening in so little time!

Life!
Nice lyrics! One small correction I think might make a little more sense: Will's lines should say "harder" instead of "hotter" and "luck ain't even lucky" instead of "looking even look". Oh, and does he say " you're our only hope" or "you're her only hope"? I'm just going off of the original song on this. But I appreciate the lyrics. It helps me better understand what's going on here as I've never seen this musical before.
At the school trip I was in the theatre caffe near national gallery in london, and it was like 9 am on tuesday so I was the only client. And they have the best employees. Seriously this nice man who was standing behind th counter and was making shake from Six for me was singing this really well, and when there was this "You know what? I really am!" moment, that was the best thing ever, and then we were singing songs from hadestown jiiotjniogtnjiojio If you're reading this sir, hi :3
this is super dope! freakin love jordan luke gage and this entire musical, saw it in manchester when it was in previews and the entire show and this song in particular was amazing 💕
Watched the play some weeks ago, this song with the reveal of Romeo made it worth the time. Romeo as a whole carried the play. Best character. LET'S GO ROMEOOOOOO
I love the "HEREfore art thou Romeo" joke, because any high-school class, pedantic grammar nerd, or even Gnomeo and Juliet can tell you "wherefore" means "why." It's such a good detail to solidify that, as far as this show is concerned, Will and Romeo are wrong but convinced they're in the right.
ROMEO: This ain't a song for the broken-hearted No silent prayer for the faith-departed And I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd You're gonna hear my voice when I shout it out loud COMPANY: Romeo!

I'm engaged! Again! So much has happened in so little time!

You're her only hope. You're back from the dead! ROMEO: (spoken) I know! It's super dope! ANNE: (spoken) Ugh WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE and ANNE: Better stand tall when they're calling you out Don't bend, don't break, baby, don't back down ROMEO and JULIET: It's my life It's my life It's now or never And I ain't gonna live forever It's my life I just wanna live while I'm alive It's my life It's my life My heart is like an open highway And I'm just gonna do it my way I just wanna live while I'm alive ROMEO: (spoken) It's Romeo! Here for art thou, Romeo! COMPANY: Alive JULIET: (spoken) Romeo? You're alive? COMPANY: Alive ROMEO: (spoken) I'm alive. And I came back for my wife! COMPANY: Alive JULIET: (spoken) Oh, shit ROMEO: It's my life
I haven't heard of or seen this musical before, but I love it already from this soundtrack. Does anyone know what's going on here? I take it Romeo is coming back from the dead somehow and is going to return to Juilet in this song, yes? Who's Will? Who's Anne? Who's April? What is going on in general? I appreciate some context for this musical.
The premise is that William (Will) Shakespeare and his wife Anne Hathaway are having a dispute about the ending of "Romeo and Juliet". So Anne rewrites the ending to have Juliet survive. And April is Anne's self-insert character in the role of Juliet's best friend.
@@dansattah Ah. Thanks so much! I’ve been curious about this musical, but haven’t been able to find much on it. I like this musical even more now. Wish I could see it.
