Obviously any musical is going to be best when you watch them on stage, that's how they were intended to be consumed. Unfortunately, I'm not always able to "watch" a musical, especially when driving.

What musicals do you find "almost complete" by just listening to them. I'm talking about the ones where the plot is driven mostly within the songs- (rather than songs being reactions to plot). Musicals where you can listen to the cast album and feel like you've been told a complete story rather than a collection of songs that tell snapshots of a story. What are your favorite "driving" musicals where you don't need to "see" the stage to get a good picture of what's going on?

Aliens abduct you. They want to study human reproduction- they give you an option.

Copulate with a robot that is designed to look and feel like a human being. Copulate with an alien who has been modified to look and feel like a human being. Or Copulate with a pig that has been modified to look and feel like a human being (and more importantly given enough sentience/sapience to consent).

All three candidates are objectively as attractive in appearance as each other.

Assuming you go along with this proposal (and we're going to assume you do)- which options are the most/least objectional on a taste/morality ground to you.

This isn't supposed to be a gross-out... I want to know the reasoning, for example- if the pig is sentient and human-presenting, why is that different to a sexy space alien? Or is it not? Why are sexy aliens so popular in scifi- how is a hot vulcan girl different to a sapient humanoid pig?

I'm British in America. My singing is strong, I feel like my acting is community-theatre average. My dancing will make you puke- seriously, talking chunks here.

I'd love to audition for more parts BUT- I really can't do accents (maybe it's my aphantasia). Would I be wasting everyone's time if I auditioned for a musical (small community theatres) knowing all the roles are American and ensemble usually has to be able to dance without inducing audience participation via hurling.

Am I wasting people's time if I audition? Should I wait for English baritone roles in my age range to come up? Or should I apply anyway. (this is not for a specific musical just *in general* I know there are some roles where accent could be ambiguous). Curious to hear from a director's point of view too- would you rather people with the wrong accent not show up and waste your time, or do you prefer to be able to decide for yourself?
