You must have a story. She should be interesting and funny and have some surprising turns. (The appearance of a person with whom no one expects, things from the past of a protagonist, dangers to overcome).

Then write to what places you want to use a song and who sings it (solo, duet, choir). At the beginning there is always a musical “introduction” that explains the setting and the acting.

If you have clarified the situations, you will consider the mood of the lecturers at the moment and make you sketches about the text, because it should also advance the action. Mostly, it’s just getting better in the ear. These include many musical ideas, that takes time.

Consider how and where your “main solo” (the song that remains in your ear) should take place, you have to focus on it.

Then choreography, stage design, equipment and lighting.

I just wrote that out of my stomach and I basically have no idea, but that’s how I always felt music theatre and that’s what I’d do.

The answer from Dirndlschneider is actually perfect, I still have a few small comments:

It should fit the piece (to a piece in 19. Centuries or the 60s do not fit modern pop, either contemporary music, classic Broadway music or a mixture), generally I think modern pop for musicals is quite inappropriate, yet the music should be absolutely catchy. The melody, instrumentalization and co. should reflect the emotions of the scene. Listen to some classic musicals (Hamilton and The Greatest Showman are examples of how to do it in no way)
