Mashups of musicals

I always wondered how Nellie Forbush from South Pacific would respond to Sky Masterson from Guys and Dolls. Or would Henry Hill from The Music Man be intrigued by Anna Leonowens from The King and I?

If Anna started to sing “Getting to Know you”, would Henry realize that he just has to get to know her? Or would the chemistry be all wrong?

What if we started from the premise that we can mix and match characters from different classic Broadway musicals? Could such a pastiche produce something interesting?

I am open to suggestions!
