[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. It's. My. Life [ANNE, SPOKEN] Well, William, I hope you're very impressed with yourself [WILL, SPOKEN] You know what? I really am! (sung) This is for the ones who stood their ground [ENSEMBLE] *chanting Romeo* [WILL] For Romeo and Juliet who never backed down [ENSEMBLE] *continuing to chant* [WILL] tomorrow's getting harder make no mistake [WILL AND ROMEO] luck ain't even lucky gotta make your own breaks It's my life It's now or never And I ain't gonna live forever I just wanna live while I'm alive It's my life My heart is like an open highway Like Frankie said- (Frankie) I did it my way! 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! [APRIL/ANNE, SPOKEN[ so much is happening and whatever happens, I will be here for you, you will be fine [JULIET] it's my life Its now or never, And I ain't gonna live forever I just wanna live while I'm alive [JULIET AND APRIL/ANNE] My heart is like an open highway And I'm just gonna do it my way I just wanna live while I'm alive [WILL, SPOKEN] go, Romeo, you're our only hope You're back from the dead [ROMEO, SPOKEN] I know, it's super dope [Will is really regretting this] [WILL AND ANNE/APRIL] Banished and torn, their calling you out Don't bend, don't break baby, don't back down [ROMEO (Juliet)] It's my life (it's my life!) And it's now or never I ain't gonna live forever I just wanna live while I'm alive (it's my life!) My heart is like an open highway And I'm just gonna do it my way [JULIET] I just wanna live while I'm alive! [ENSEMBLE] alive... [ROMEO, SPOKEN] Its Romeo, herefore art thou Romeo! [ENSEMBLLE] Alive... [JULIET, SPOKEN] Romeo?! You're alive?! [ENSEMBLE] Alive! [ROMEO, SPOKEN] I'm alive, and I came back for my wife! [ENSEMBLE] Alive! [JULIET, SPOKEN] Oh shit.. [ROMEO]) it's. My. 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.
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 💕
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
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.

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.
