I quite literally can't! 

It's funny, I was just thinking today about which playwrights do double-duty in that regard. I think some very stylized contemporary playwrights would be good, like Susan Lori-Parks, Brandon Jacobs-Jenkins, possibly McDonagh - writers whose language already has a kind of music to it. Like I said, I can't imagine a hyper-naturalistic playwright like Annie Baker writing a musical.
