2:31 that’s when you invent a new character name 😅

2:22 or in Sigpry pentameter 😂😮😊😅

Why is this music so good 😂😂😂

Great

Omg thanks this helped me learn the lyrics Becuase I’m Nigel in something rotten jr.!

TYSM FOR THISS IM PREPPING FOR AN AUDITION FOR BEA AND I NEEDED THIS

God, I hate Shakespeare! That's right, I said it! No! I do! I hate Shakespeare! Why? I just don't get it How a mediocre actor from a measly little town Is suddenly the brightest jewel in England's royal crown Oh God I hate Shakespeare His plays are wordy but oh no! The "great" Shakespeare! That little turd He has no sense about the audience he makes them feel so dumb The bastard doesn't care that my poor ass is getting numb How can you say that? How can you say that? It's easy, I can say it cause it's absolutely true! Don't be a penis, the man is a genius! His genius is he's fooling all of you! But he's brilliant What majesty flows from his pen His poetry soars like a sweet violin God's own inspiration like lightning doth strike him And he captures my soul! You should hate Shakespeare! Well no I don't, I try to emulate Shakespeare! Well there's your problem! You're so blinded by "The Bard" who's such a pompous little man Why is it a problem to admit that I'm a fan? 'Cause he's a hack With a knack For stealing anything he can How can you say that? How can you say that? The man really knows how to write a bitchin' play! You wish you could pen one We wish we were in one I just wish that he would go away! Well that's not gonna happen, Because everyone I know says that he's the greatest writer that England's ever known! And that's anotherthing I hate about Shakespeare! Is all the twits who bloviate about Shakespeare! And how they prattle on about his great accomplishments, Well la-di-da-di-dah! And once they start their gushing there's no stopping them And then it's "blah blah blah blah blah Shakespeare!" And he walks in, it's "dum da dum ta da Shakespeare!" He's holding court and they say "Will you're such a genius and your writing is divine, A rose by any other name is such a clever line!" And they're all "ooh!" And he's all "stop" And they're all "yay" And I'm all "ugh" And I'm REALLY getting sick of it! And oh, oh, oh, oh, I hate Shakespeare! I think by now we sort of know you hate Shakespeare! Shmakespeare! The way he feigns humility when all he does is gloat The way he wears that silly frilly collar 'round his throat The poster child for why no one should ever procreate Let me make a shorter list so I can give it to you straight: Every little thing about Shakespeare Is what I hate! He hates! He hates! He clearly surely really truly hates Shakespeare! Don't hate!

YESSSS THE WHOLE ALBUM WITH LYRICS!!! Thank you you are a life saver!

This song (specifically the dance sequence) is the whole reason I watched something rotten

Love the little Joseph reference at the end. Cute

Thank you for making this video😄 It has actually helped my to study for a test on English literature

The tapping made me burst out laughing 😂😂😂

W

We’re outgunned

I love this song. One thing, the "Why?" At 0:06 is Robin's line.

I'm learning this for Stage-ed woo

So we have Hamilton and Shakespeare... next lets have a musical about jesus (just imagine a song like this about jesus 😂)

Director: hm... were doing a musical right? Writer: mhm Director: so... we need a song if its a musical Writer: thats it! Director: whats i- Writer: 🎶ITS A MUSICAL!!🎶 6 minutes later Director: yes i get it now! We'll do a musical!...

8th grade English students:

Going into this i completely underestimated how hard this song could go

I love how this directly follows “Fly, Mariposa, Fly.” It is mostly Osgood who breaks Daphne out of her shell. This song is her response to his encouragement, a joyous awakening made possible by the positive impact he has made on her. Now that’s a relationship that’s gonna last.

Your the will of the people now

I can't believe this clip has been up for 9 months, and only two comments. It's such a brilliant bit. The intro song about the Renaissance is just pure gold too. Loved the references to the great English authors and playwrights (Christopher Marlowe 🤩) of the time. I saw this play in Finland (in Swedish!) a few weeks ago and the tunes have been in my head since then :)

Just a note for myself 3:14

Still my favourite song of the show❤❤❤

This is good and all but they aren’t called servants, they are the bard boys

I’m doing this musical at school and at 2:06 when the troupe sings, I’m pretty sure Nigel sings with them. I might be wrong tho

Thanks I needed a meme 😂

Hey dude, I got a musical that I preform next year and this lyrics layout helps a lot, thanks for the help!

“Giggles adorably” YEAH SHE DOES

the instrumental picture is PERFECTly cursed

As soon as nick said "yolk" we knew he lost it

Why is this song so underrated?!?!?

0:00 - 1:05

The opening line is actually said by Vivian (Jenny Hill)!

anyone else get "You're never had a friend like me" vibes from this song?

I swear Adrianna Hicks has such an amazing voice it seems unreal 😍😍

Christian Borle is freaking amazing 🤩🤩

christian borle sounds so marvin falsettos in that one part i love it

"they just- they just killed those guys!" "-to 𝘥𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩!"

2:19 the lyric is supposed to be “We’ll use their pitch”

0:55 the lyric is wrong here. It’s “So when an argument is at its zenith”

you’re so underrated 😻😻 love this musical

omg I absolutely love this musical! 🥰❤️

i love you

This Song Is What Got Me into This Musical 💙💙💙

I think it might be “the die is cast/it’s a faît accompli”. (Which is to say, it’s already done, there’s no going back) Thanks for posting! :D
