I'm assuming you mean you are writing it...
I'd advise you to pick something that you relate to. I'm guessing you aren't too old (I might be mistaken), so try perhaps a sport you play, or a hobby you do. I just recently saw a musical about spelling bees, and it was actually quite good! It may not have the impact of say, South Pacific or Chicago, but you'll be a lot more inspired by something you are familiar with. My recommendations would be..
-science fair
-any sport
-an afterschool job
-turn a familiar story into a musical (disneys are classics!)
-or just a straight up story about highschool or college. It's slightly overdone, but it seems like you are doing this more for personal benefit than anything.

hope this helps!

How about Alice in Wonderland? I haven't seen that movie or anything related to that since i was like 5.
