Act One Musical Numbers - There's gonna be a fight tonight

SINGER #1 (KITTY – carrying the banner of Montagues)
The lives have all divided, we're seen in separate paths.
If one side says it's down in white, the other's up in black.

SINGER #2 (EMILY – carrying the banner of Capulets)
Now tension's stirred a mountain and there ain't no goin' back.
Rumble's gonna happen, I hope they make it back
I feel the pressure on my chest
Anticipation in the air

SINGERS #1 and #2
When the sun goes down tonight
Street lights turn on real bright
It's gonna light my way
Before our page be drawn
From twilight up till dawn
I wanna scream in your ears!

TYBALT:
There's gonna be a fight tonight!

(During the song, Enter, several of both houses, who join the fray; then enter Citizens, with clubs)
ENSEMBLE:
Hey-Hey! Hey-Hey! Hey-Hey! Hey-Hey!

SINGER #2
The time has been decided, and word has gone around
It's too late now to stop it, a brawl is goin' down

SINGER #1
Now people started gambling', no time for feelin' sad
Sweat turns into blood and good mixed up with bad

BENVOLIO:
I feel the pressure on my chest
Anticipation in the air
Hard heavy heart,

TYBALT:
I'm supercharged!
Let's let them come, come in!

ALL: (Including additional backing singers and ensemble)
When the sun goes down tonight
Street lights turn on real bright
It's gonna light my way
Before our page be drawn
From twilight up till dawn
I wanna scream in your ears!

BENVOLIO:
There's gonna be a fight tonight!

ALL:
Hey-Hey! Hey-Hey! Hey-Hey! Hey-Hey!

TYBALT:
There's gonna be a fight tonight!

ENSEMBLE (Montagues)
Hey-Hey!

ENSEMBLE (Capulets)
Hey-Hey!

ENSEMBLE (ALL)
Hey-Hey!
Woah-oh-Oh-oh, oooh-oooh-oooh
Woah-oh-Oh-oh, oooh-oooh-oooh
Woah-oh-Oh-oh, oooh-oooh-woah!

ALL:(shouted)
There's gonna be a fight tonight!
End song.

Act One Musical Numbers - Stitches

ROMEO
I thought that I'd been hurt before
But no one's ever left me quite this sore
Your words cut deeper than a knife
Now I need someone to breathe me back to life

(backing vocals by BENVOLIO, SINGERS)
Got a feeling that I'm going under
But I know that I'll make it out alive
If I quit calling you my lover
Move on

ROMEO with ENSEMBLE providing backing vocals
You watch me bleed until I can't breathe
Shaking, falling onto my knees
And now that I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches
Tripping over myself
Aching, begging you to come help
And now that I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches

ROMEO
Just like a moth drawn to a flame
Oh, you lured me in, I couldn't sense the pain
Your bitter heart cold to the touch

BENVOLIO adds in backing vocals
Now I'm gonna reap what I sow
I'm left seeing red on my own

(backing vocals as before)
Got a feeling that I'm going under
But I know that I'll make it out alive
If I quit calling you my lover move on

ROMEO, BENVOLIO and ENSEMBLE backing vocals
You watch me bleed until I can't breathe
Shaking, falling onto my knees
And now that I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches
Tripping over myself,
Aching, begging you to come help
And now that I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches

ROMEO
Needle and the thread,
Gotta get you out of my head
Needle and the thread,
Gonna wind up dead
                               BV –(Gonna wind up dead etc.)
Needle and the thread,
Gotta get you out of my head, get you out of my head

CAPULET and PARIS enter

ROMEO sings lead ad libs with ENSEMBLE + BENVOLIO, CAPULET and PARIS
You watch me bleed until I can't breathe
Shaking, falling onto my knees (falling on my knees)
And now that I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches (and I'll be needing stitches)
Tripping over myself,
Aching, begging you to come help (begging, "Baby, please.")
And now that I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches

(And now that)
I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches
(And now that)
I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches
Exit ROMEO, BENVOLIO and
