It's a musical from the 80's based on a film noir/Hollywood setting, so there's bound to be a lot of innuendos and outright sexual content. Some examples are Bobbi and Irwin S Irving being found naked in bed together, Mallory waiting for Stone naked on his bed, Buddy Fiddler getting a massage and flashing Stone in his office, and a scene of Stine and Donna after they had sex

Once again, it's a musical from the 80's based on a film noir. Allura, Mallory, Avril, Bobbi, and many more women are seen as sexual objects (especially Bobbi, who is seen as a prostitute after she leaves Stone)

Somewhat. There is a brothel keeper named Margie that could be seen as a trans woman/drag queen, but her gender is never specifically mentioned. She does, however, have a deeper voice and claims to know her "girls" well.

Stone repeatedly. He does realize it pretty quick, but it is a repeated joke that women keep getting the better of him

This is a hard "maybe" for me. Lieutenant Manny Munõz is a Mexican cop character who is used as a sort of racial foil for Stone. Stone is a handsome, white man whereas Manny is a poor Mexican man. Many of Manny's lines could be seen as offensive or misrepresented, but often they cut to the truth of the matter very well for a musical from the 80's. If anything, Buddy is the one misrepresenting anyone, and it is framed as a bad thing.

It's implied that Allura Kingsley dies at the end of the musical, and the story was supposed to have both Peter and Mallory Kingsley die before the final scene, though that got "changed" by Buddy Fiddler

Stone is stalked by men hired by Mallory Kingsley to keep him down and away from finding her. When he does "find" her, the men continue to stalk him in an attempt to prevent him from returning Mallory to her family

Yes!!! So many times!!!! Though it's more like a secret fifth wall, as Stone is the only one able to talk to Stine (and vice versa) in between their respective stories

It's not referred to as sa, nor is it alluded to, but during the song "Lost and Found" Mallory is very clearly trying to get Stone to sleep with her, which he doesn't want. It's implied that he "wants it" by the end, but the whole scene comes off a little pushy on Mallory's end

As mentioned before, Mallory is very sexual towards an unwilling Stone. Throughout the song "Lost and Found" there are lines such as "I know my daddy said to turn me in, but why don't I turn you on instead?" And "Don't resist, you won't know what you've missed!"

Stone is tied up near a bomb nearing the end of the show, which is played off as comedic as he escapes in the nick of time. He is also beat up during the song "You Gotta Look Out For Yourself" but it's all shown through shadows and no graphic injuries are actually shown
