Its not really a full musical its more of an addition to a musical. At the end of the W&I elphaba should continue singing  "I will always love you" It would fit perfectly!

2 Hours, 34 minutes, 33 seconds: The John Cage Musical. The order of the scenes would be determined by chance operations. The actors would not speak, sing or dance.

The Emoji Musical

A musical telling the story of a rich, self-promoting, meglo-maniacal Fascist who is somehow elected President of the United States.  Its big production numbers include 'Make America Great Again', 'Round Up The Mexicans', and the big tap number that closes Act 1, entitled 'We're Starting on the Wall'.  The tender love song is titled Ivanka and is sung by the Fascist himself as a remembrance of a lost love.  The 'Round Up' number is reprised several times throughout the show, once as 'Muslims', once as 'LGBTQs', once as 'Whoever I'm Pissed at Today'.

Each night the audience votes on the ending and roughly 35% of the time, the protagonist ascends to heaven as the curtain goes down, while at the same time a deluge drowns a symbolic representation of the very people who voted for his ascent, since there is clearly no point of their living without him.  Very Brechtian.

65% of the time, he lands in Hell, in a number that combines aspects of the Mormon Hell number from BOM and the City on Fire number from Sweeney Todd.  

The publicity the show receives -- much in the form of unsolicited tweets -- does not help to sell tickets, since people are not up for a 'Reality Musical' that hits a little too close to home, much like the failed attempts in the 70s to satirize Richard Nixon.  Cant even remember the names of those shows, although I think one played the Shubert.

Actually, in the right hands, this could be done as an opera, similar to Jake Heege's opera about Dead Man Walking and the opera about Harvey Milk. A traditional Broadway musical probably wouldn't work. 

Jonestown is a fascinating story, how one man can get hundreds to follow him to a foreign jungle and make them commit suicide.

Scott Pilgrim: The Musical!

Each ex-boyfriend is a music style that matches his personality.

I can easily imagine Tim Minchin doing songs for this.

ALF: The Musical Journey of a Loveable Alien

The production would of course heavily feature puppets,rad 80s outfits, and fog machines.

Wheel of Fortune consisting entirely of musical classics such as Luck Be a Lady Tonight, Why We Like Spelling and others. Perhaps its most novel concept is only the parts of Vanna and Pat are played by Broadway veterans (who, by contract, must play their parts either until they die or the musical ends its run). The rest of the cast is randomly selected from the audience.

Wait though I would 100% be on board with David S. Pumpkins the musical if Tom Hanks was starring.

Scott Pilgrim is already basically a musical.
