I've always wanted to stage the Roger Waters album, "Amused to Death."

Donald Barthelme made references to a fictional Eliot musical Wasteland!, by Lionel Bart, in a couple of his short stories (years in fact before Cats).

The musical of LOTR indeed opened in Toronto within the past 6 weeks or so, and was apparently quite mediocre.

Some friends and I spent some time thinking up songs for Journey!, including "I'm Just a Ghost on the Stairs," "What's a Drink Between Brothers," and "I may Be Irish (but I Know Scotch).
