Chances are you already know one or are at least familiar with one, there've been a bunch of crossover hits and jukebox musicals (where they write a broadway show around existing hits). That includes Bob Dylan (Girl from the north country) and Johnny Cash (Ring of Fire) and Abba (Mamma Mia!).
What genre speaks to you? Google it, I can almost guarantee there will be a musical written in that style. Rock (Tommy), Punk (American Idiot), Hip Hop (In the Heights, Hamilton), R&B/Doo Wop (Dream Girls, Jersey Boys), Pop (just about anything made in the last 30 years). Listen to some of the biggest hits from a show in the genre you like and you'll probably find a few you actually want to play.
