Why not then just see the play?

I agree that I want the role to be well acted too but at $150+ a ticket, I expect a good singer, dancer AND actor in every role.

Of course, certain roles aren't necessarily written for a strong voices. I'm fine with a well acted and not too beautifully sung Henry Higgins. But would I want an Eliza who can act like Judi Dench but sing like Elaine Stritch? No thank you.
