I just finished Stardust by Neil Gaimain (started and completed in one sitting). Not his best novel but a good, nice story and one that would work really well as a musical.
In case you've never heard of it, it's about a guy who promises the girl he loves that he'll go find a star that they saw fall in exchange for her hand. So he travels into the land of Faerie, has a bunch of adventures and finds the star, who happens to be a rather stubborn young lady. So now he has to grapple with her and compete against the other people who want to find her; a witch who wants to cut out her heart for a spell and a series of princes who must find her to claim their father's throne.
Lots of good stuff there for the legitimate theater.
