(Music & Lyrics by Shaina Taub)
Feste: If music be the food of love, play on
40 Illyrians+Illyriettes: Play on
Feste: If music be the food of love,
Feste, 40 Illyrians+Illyriettes: Play on
Feste: Bliss and misery Let them wail in harmony As we celebrate a life that’s gone Play on!
40 Illyrians+Illyriettes: Play on
Feste, 40 Illyrians+Illyriettes: If music be the food of love, play on (feste: play on!) If music be the food of love, play on! Send his spirit off with jive Remind us we’re still alive As breath and death pass the baton Play on
Feste: Play on!
Viola (spoken): What country, friend, is this?
Feste (spoken): This is Illyria, lady!
Viola (spoken): And what should I do in Illyria?
Feste, 40 Illyrians + Illyriettes: So if music be the food of love play on (feste: play on!) If music be the food of love, play on! Play my joy, play my pain Til my soul is whole again Til my heartbeat starts to hop
Orsino: I can’t take it no more Stop! No, play on!
Viola: Sebastian? Have you seen my brother? My brother Sebastian? Did he swim to shore too? The storm hit our ship so quick- Next thing i knew It split in two Did he drown? Or did i? Is this where you go when you die - Illyria? Who governs here in Illyria?
Illyriettes: Poor orsino! Feste Our lovesick duke
Illyriettes: Poor orsino!
Illyrian Mom: What a stud!
Her Little Kid: Ew puke!
Orsino: The lady won’t love me back No, no the lady won’t love me back She passed me by so proudly It’s killing me loudly The lady won't love me back How can I get the lady to love me back? Oh oh olivia
Viola: Who’s olivia?
Illyriettes & Feste: Poor olivia! The countess lost her brother His funeral is today She hides her face and barely says a word or so they say
Viola: My heart is aching with her My brother lost astray If only she would take me in until I find my way
Arianne: Yeah, the odds of that are slim to none
Natalie: Olivia won’t see anyone
Lola: But orsino’s hiring
Mayelyn: Go apply! Feste He only hires men…
Kelly: Nevermind then
Idania: Good luck!
Illyriettes: Bye!
Viola: My brother is the one who knows what to do Where would he go in my shoeless shoes? Well, what if I step into his instead? Get this job, get fed, a roof over my head A bastion of security Til sebastian is returned to me Or they find him under the sea O disguise, make them see What kind of man i’ve gotta be!
Feste, Orsino, Maria, Olivia, Illyrians & Illyrietes: If music be the food of love, play on! (Feste: Play on!) If music be the food of love, play on! Blow that horn and start a riot Til my eardrums need a diet Play my joy, play my pain Til my soul is whole again
Viola: Play along with their song Til I'm back where i belong
All: Til our hunger is all gone Play on! Play on! Play on!
Viola: Play on!
