An insufferable combination of metal, screaming, hipster garbage, and Christian music, glorifying strip clubs, prostitution, and Christ.

Vaguely emo in both musical style and subject matter but harder-edged than that would normally imply. Think Spring Awakening meets Tommy.

Very unique in lyrics and in script.  I'm thinking something Shakespearean.

I regard you and Nathan as the same person, to be honest.

I was beaten to Simfan. Nevertheless, I'll post his then get to whoever came right before me.

Simfan
Likely involving pieces with classical structure. Not many costumes or large pieces, but rather single men in suits, singing as asides, while sipping tea. Likely the subject has to do with the East Coast financial sector.

Snowguy:
Hmmm.... Not sure. Maybe involving people in Viking helmets? Likely Norwegian references. Something about how Minnesota is great. No idea as to the music he prefers, or as to how his personality might pertain to the music. The setting however is definitely of a Northern variety. Possibly something witty about climate change? Will the stage be literally flooded at the end?

A chronicle of the Doors or some other 60s or 70s rock band; probably edgy with plenty of sexual and drug-related content.

I could see him doing one about a Catholic priest as well, maybe with a Gregorian-style chant or some sort of music like that in Latin.

Probably a story about the Civil War with a message about why all Southern Democrats are forever evil and why Yankee Republicans will always save the day.  Featuring music by Journey.

I'm calling it, possibly the most sure thing I've called in a while: Country/Christian music mixed with Liberal Christianity. Maybe a Godspell type thing?

A sort of historical drama, probably focusing on John Adams and his dynasty. The music, of course, would be dictated by the time period.

Maybe a musical version of Mad Men where they are all rocking bow ties?

NICE!  Maybe I could work in "Don't Stop Me Now" where the person not being stopped is some kind of anarcho-secularist.

It would take place in a rented coffee shop and have a plot not for the ears of children but that wouldn't matter because you wouldn't be able to understand the words to the music anyway.

A fairly Dickensian morality tale sadly self-censored to comply with Tea-Party demands of "avoiding liberal elitism".

Simfan would have a musical involving people in suits finally utterly defeating people who do not wear suits. The details, I don't know.

HAHA

You'd have something with lot of orthodox chanting and robed priests. The struggle of priests in a gulag, maybe, who somehow remain in their vestments for the duration of the play.

Haven't I vocalized my secularism quite a lot here?
