Wonderland: The Musical - "Heroes"

"Heroes"
From the hit Broadway musical, "Wonderland: Alice Through A Whole New Looking-Glass".

Music by Frank Wildhorn
Lyrics by Jack Murphy
-----------------------------
White Rabbit:
Chances, they come and go. But you're afraid and so you run away...

El Gato:
And when a chance is there, make-believe you don't care: that's how to play...

Caterpillar:
Bridges you never crossed left you alone and lost, looking around.
People are hard to find when they get left behind on such angry ground.

All:
So it goes...

Alice:
The hours move, the days go by, we wait for heroes to fall from the sky.
Don't wait too long to learn what's true.
I promise: you be a hero for me, and I'll be a hero for you.
Nothing is black or white, easy as wrong or right, or so they say.
You are the best in me, saving the rest of me day after day.
Hold on to those you love, through what you're dreaming of,
You'll make it somehow.
The future can't change the past; make every second last
For all we have is here and now...

All:
The hours move, the days go by, why wait for heroes to fall from the sky?

Alice:
I finally know what's really true.
I promise: you be a hero for me, and I'll be a hero for you.

All:
I'll be a hero for you
I'll be a hero
I'll be a hero
I'll be a hero, a hero for you...
The days go by, why wait for heroes to fall from the sky?
The hours move, the days go by, I'll be your hero...
The hours move, the days go by, why wait for heroes to fall...?

Chloe:
The hours move, the days go by, why wait for heroes to fall from the sky?

Does anyone have a vid of the Tampa 2011 production?

[GVirus14]

@mickeyfan5534 I also ask this question. I have a recording of the Broadway version (the one now floating around on YouTube) but being able to see the more dated material would be awesome. :)

[mickeyfan5534]

@GVirus14 I heard that Tampa 2011 was the best edition of it. Is that true.

[GVirus14]

@mickeyfan5534 I wouldn't know; I haven't seen any version live, and I've only seen the Broadway version in general. I want to see the Tampa version, and if ANYONE has a copy of the official Broadway.com recording, LET ME KNOW.

Do Alice and her husband (Jack) get back together at the end? I know that in the beginning they are separated. And I know that the White Knight Jack dies saving Chloe. Can anyone tell me? I haven't seen it yet and I would be heart broken if Alice ends up alone. Yes, I know she still has Chloe, but that's different!

[GVirus14]

@SileRois27 Yes, Jack and Alice end up making up in the end.

does any one have a video of this?

[SileRois27]

@agenttheater5  Okay. That makes more sense.

[agenttheater5]

@SileRois27 there's something of a video on youtube, but its the version before heroes, and in that version of together alice doesn't enter the scene until the end of the song, so I think they changed the order of events a bit as well.

[SileRois27]

@agenttheater5 I thought it was Chloe but Wiki says that Alice was held at knife point, I think I guess I was wrong. I haven't seen it yet, but I want to so BAD!!!

[agenttheater5]

@SileRois27 wait, does this mean that in this song chloe had been saved during together? and that it wasn't alice who was held at knife point?

[gbrenn01]

@agenttheater5 nah they had a dinky reprise of "Home" which wasn't sad and just sort of rushed to the ending... this song was amples better

[gbrenn01]

@GVirus14 there's no vid of it... (you can see clips of it in the preview for Tampa); It was going in the right direction but to be honest (saw both Tampa prods & bway) was a mess with tons of plotholes, sort of embarrassingly bad plotholes (but the overall plot was way better). This song was a highlight, staged beautifully and little Carly would make anyone cry. I posted "Worst Day" from the 2011 version (audio) on my channel for those who want to listen!
