#i think it would be character appropriate & funny for him to have a boyband heartthrob moment when marrianne starts seeing him differently

Okay, hear me out: Sense and Sensibility as a musical entirely from Marianne's perspective, so all the songs are about how she views the characters. Colonel Brandon doesn't participate in any of the numbers, even while people are singing and dancing around him, until Marianne starts to have feelings for him. He's played by Jeremy Jordan or someone like him so the moment he starts singing all the girls in the audience start screaming crying and throwing up.
