Garden gnomes Gnomeo and Juliet find themselves caught between feuding yards in this musical retelling of Shakespeare's classic tale. When blue gnome Gnomeo meets red gnome Juliet, their forbidden love blooms despite the ancient rivalry dividing their neighboring gardens. The couple must navigate family loyalty, territorial disputes, and the dangers that threaten their ceramic world. This Piano/Vocal/Guitar songbook captures their story through eleven musical numbers from the Disney film. The collection features beloved Elton John classics like "Your Song," "Tiny Dancer," and "Crocodile Rock" alongside two original compositions by John and Bernie Taupin: "Hello Hello" and "Love Builds a Garden." Additional tracks include "Bennie and the Jets," "Don't Go Breaking My Heart," "Rocket Man," "Saturday Night's Alright (For Fighting)," "The Tiki Tiki Tiki Room," and "Dandelions." Full-color artwork from the movie accompanies the musical arrangements, bringing the miniature world of these star-crossed lovers to life on every page.
