Well, "Loesser avoided taxing Same Levene" by minimizing any singing he had to do; in fact, a duet was dropped between Nathan (Levene) and Sky Masterson called "Travelin' Light" because Levene couldn't sing it. Otherwise, Nathan's part is mostly an acting one, though he sings a bit in "Sue Me" and a few lines in "The Oldest Established", whereas Miranda has quite a lot of musical numbers in his show. I guess it's good that he's aware that he's better at rapping or speak-singing, as he was kind of difficult to listen to singing in the Encores "Merrily We Roll Along".

That's exactly my point.
