good musical opening numbers from an autidm perspective:
a funny thing happened on the way to the forum: tells you exactly what's going to be in the show to better inform you on whether or not you want to watch it
natasha, pierre, and the great comet of 1812: tells you exactly who all the characters are immediately so you're not scrambling to keep up
hadestown: both at once, trombone solo

In a full Muppet production of Funny Thing, who would the token human be? Pseudolus seems like the obvious choice, but I do think there's potential in other roles.
