People who NEED to write/compose musicals

I just finished watching Bo Burnham's stand-up special "Make Happy" on Netflix (It's amazing, if you're okay with stand-up you should check it out, it and "what.". He has this theatrical-type style to his stand-up, where he takes full advantage of the stage and performs songs on his piano, kinda like a younger, American Tim Minchin. I always felt that his style would be perfect to create a musical, and "Make Happy" reaffirmed this belief with his composing and writing skills vastly improving. So I got the idea to ask this here: who have you always wanted to pen a musical (either the book or the music/lyrics), but never has?

edit: while what I said may be true, i just read that wrong. Sorry for the snark.
