In 2014, the highest-paid musical act was Dr. Dre, who earned an estimated $620 million, largely due to the sale of his Beats by Dre headphone line to Apple. His earnings eclipsed those of other top artists that year, making him a standout figure in the music industry. Following him were other successful musicians like Taylor Swift and Beyoncé, but none reached his financial heights.

Which musical? In general, the term is "librettist" for the guy who writes the music and "lyricist" for the guy who writes the lyrics (words).

"Kiss Me Kate" won all of its five Tony nominations: Best Musical, Producer, Author, Composer and Lyricist and Costumes.
A librettist writes the story of the play, opera or musical. The librettist may also be the lyricist, too, but more often is not. The composer writes the music. The lyricist writes the words of the songs. The lyricist may also be the composer, the librettist, or just the lyricist. Most commonly, they are three separate people, but there are many exceptions.
Oliver! (including the exclamation point) is an English stage musical based on Dickens's "Oliver Twist." The music and lyrics are by Lionel Bart.
Writing a musical is not easy. It's like writing a play, only you have to write the music and lyrics for the songs as well (unless you find someone to do this for you). There is no right or wrong way to go about, just start writing... If you can't compose music, bring on a composer now. If you can't write lyrics, then bring on a lyricist (Sometimes Composer and Lyricist are the same person). If you cant at least write the "book" (dialog and story), then I'm not sure you should be wanting to "write" a musical.
Lyricist Lounge was created in 1991.
