it has to be a serious production. you can't just do some postmodern thing where you stand on stage with a zither and lazily fiddle with it for a couple hours. you need a plot, 85% of your runtime has to be actual musical numbers, it needs to be staged for an ensemble cast, etc. it also has to be an original production. no remakes, and nothing done previously, though you can loosely 'adapt' a public domain text if it helps, and if your adaptation is the very first.
assuming you have a big guaranteed payout on delivery, how long would it take you to deliver?

To be fair,
This is retarded and gay because you’re an idiot who doesn't actually know anything about this subject and as a result you're setting a much higher bar than actual professional musical theater writers operate under. Very few if any of them actually orchestrate their own shit (and that’s been true from the beginning of Broadway), let alone conduct the pit orchestra themselves or whatever. At most they’ll write the lyrics and a very simple “melody + chords” piano arrangement of the tunes, and some of the most famous Broadway "auteurs" in history — Irving Berlin for example — literally never even learned how to notate music, he would just plunk out the tunes on his piano (PS he was so lazy that he lived to be 101 yet he only ever learned to play in one key) and then make his assistants transcribe the whole thing and also go ahead and arrange + orchestrate it. George Gershwin is another example, he wasn't even capable of orchestrating "Rhapsody In Blue" when he first composed it so he only wrote the parts out for two pianos and then he brought in another guy to craft an orchestral arrangement. So it turns out that two of the most famous and successful musical writers of the 20th Century would have failed your hypo. Whoops! Oh well, I guess they didn't have what it takes to make it on Broadway -- at least according to a Pumo on XO.
You think Matt Stone and Trey Parker know how to write out a full orchestral score? What are the odds either of them can even fluently read musical notation? They're both obscenely rich comedians who live awesome lives filled with fun shit to do... you really think they’re wasting a ton of their time sitting in some stuffy windowless recording studio next to a bunch of autistic hardcore music nerds being like “OK, so here at Bar 202 we need the bassoons to double the strings through the end of the bridge, and then over at Bar 306 we need the flutes to come in and…”? LJL what's the max IQ to think that's how things actually work in Broadway/Hollywood, maybe ~85? You naive retard.
But anyway, if you’re gonna be a little faggot about setting the parameters of this hypo that you're obviously totally unqualified to even be discussing in the first place, you might as well go all the way and stipulate that we also have to learn how to physically construct all of the orchestral instruments and then hand craft them ourselves... as well as learn how to single-handedly design and build an architecturally-sound theater, etc etc etc... after all, we’re “impresarios” now!!!!11

If I can make it a punk musical and just write for a three piece with tablature and quality is not important I can do it in a weekend. Eg a musical about the life of Henry Rollins I could write the entire play and all the lyrics within 24 hours it would pretty much pour right out of me. If I wanted to make it good I would need a bit more time to add all my little stupid references and in jokes in the music and lyrics, so for that I would need like two weeks or so.

RATE this idea for a musical, care of ChatGPT:
"Atlantis" tells the story of Maya, a determined marine biologist, whose obsession with proving the existence of Atlantis leads her on a dangerous expedition. Swept overboard during a storm, she awakens to find herself in a hidden, underwater city—Atlantis. However, this Atlantis is far from the utopian paradise of legend. The city is a dystopian society, divided between the opulent upper city, where the wealthy elite live in luxury, and the struggling lower city, where workers maintain the failing infrastructure. Maya is taken prisoner by Prince Nael, a charming but disillusioned royal who is initially skeptical of her presence. Despite their differences, Maya's knowledge proves valuable as mysterious power surges threaten the city’s stability.
As Maya works with Soren, an idealistic engineer from the lower city, they uncover a shocking truth: the power core that sustains Atlantis is failing, putting the entire city at risk of destruction. Soren dreams of revolution to dismantle the corrupt aristocracy, while Nael wrestles with his loyalty to his family and his growing attraction to Maya. As Nael introduces Maya to the secrets of Atlantis and the city's strict social hierarchy, they begin to fall in love, even as the political and environmental crises mount. The queen, Nael's mother, embodies the city's refusal to change, pushing back against the growing threat of rebellion.
In a climactic showdown, Soren leads a rebellion to seize control of the power core, while Nael must choose between siding with his family or joining Maya and Soren in their fight to save the city. As Atlantis teeters on the brink of collapse, Nael sacrifices himself to shut down the failing core, ensuring the city's survival but sealing his fate. With Atlantis sinking beneath the waves, Maya and Soren lead the surviving citizens to the surface, vowing to share the true story of the fallen city with the world—not as a utopia, but as a cautionary tale of hubris, class division, and environmental decay. Their bittersweet victory leaves them united in hope for a better future.
