Start by sitting down and writing out a few ideas for the musical. Think about a question or problem you can address in the musical, such as “What is love?” or “How does it feel to be an outsider?” You can also think about a personal experience that upset you, unsettled you, or made you question your values. This experience could serve as the inspiration for the musical.  Consider why an idea might work better in the musical format than in the short story or novel format. Music and singing need to feel necessary to the story idea in some way.

To get inspiration for your musical and come up with a story idea, you should study other musicals. Go to musicals, read musicals on the page, and study the ways in which they combine song,...
