[funeral procession instrumental]

[children]
they say, “if music be the food of love, play on”

[feste]
one, two, a one, two, three, four

[feste & orsino]
if music be the food of love
play on

[all]
play on

[feste & orsino]
if music be the food of love

[all]
play on

[feste]
bliss and misery
let them wail in harmony
even when it seems all hope is gone
play on

[all]
play on

[feste & others]
if music be the food of love
play on

[all]
play on

[feste & others]
if music be the food of love

[all]
play on

[feste]
blow that h-rn and start a riot
till my eardrums need a diet
till my heartbeat starts to hop

[orsino]
oh i can’t take it no more
stop

[pause]

[orsino]
no, play on

(viola enters, sopping wet, barefoot and covered in seaweed)

[viola]
what country, friend, is this?

[feste]
this is illyria, lady!

[viola]
and what should i do in illyria?

[viola]
sebastian
have you seen my brother?
my twin brother
sebastian?
did he swim to sh0r- 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!
our lovesick duke
poor orsino!

[illyrian mom]
what a stud!

[kid]
ew, puke!

[orsino]
the lady won’t love me back
no, no the lady won’t love me back
she p-ssed me by so proudly
it’s k!lling 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?

[all]
poor olivia!
our grief-stricken countess

[viola]
who died?

[all]
her brother

[viola]
her brother

[olivia]
everyone says
“move on, olivia
you’ve got to play on, olivia”
but it feels like my heart’s been thrown

[olivia & viola]
how will i ever play on?

[viola]
oh, that i served that lady!

[illyriette]
yeah, the odds of that are slim to none

[illyriette]
olivia won’t see anyone

[illyriette]
but orsino’s hiring!

[viola]
i’ll apply!

[feste]
he only hires men

[illyriette]
never mind then

[illyriette]
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!

(viola runs offstage)

[all]
if music be the food of love, play on!
if music be the food of love, play on!
play my pain, play my woe
till my joy begins to grow
clap your hands, start to sway
till your worries melt away

(viola re-enters, now dressed as a man, and joins the celebration)

[viola]
be a man among men
till my soul is whole again

[all]
til our agony be gone
play on!

[orsino & viola]
play on!

[all]
play on!

[orsino & viola]
play on!

[all]
play on!

[viola]
play on
