I have written two musicals. Though since I can't write music, all of the songs are parodies of other musical songs. One was a musical version of Super Mario Brothers (the video game, not the movie,) and the other is a parody of 42nd Street (the original, not the revival,) with parodies of all the songs and two versions of a gag on the audition dance.

I tried to write one once. Made the mistake of writing the music first and trying to create a book around it. Not a good idea.

I started but never finnished writing a musical version of Spider-man. It would tell the story of Peter Parker meeting Gwen Stacy, the Green Goblin killing her, and Spider-man killing the Green Goblin. (Only those who have read the Spider-man comics know what I'm talking about.) The problem is I tried to write my own music, as I wanted it to be semi-serious. Like I said, I'm crap when it comes to writing music, so I never finished.

I'm kind of on the flipside. I compose, but I can't do book or lyrics for the life of me. I would very much like to write a musical someday, but I also don't think I'm at the musical skill level yet to write a good enough score.

Hmmm...

Maybe we should write a musical together. If nothing else, it would be fun.

Well, presuming you don't mind tolerating the efforts of a complete amateur. =P In any case, it wouldn't be something I'd have time to look at right now.
