It seems weird to include Larson on this list considering that he almost certainly would have written more shows had he not, y'know, died.

Sherman Edwards, I have read, either worked on or contemplated working on a musical set in ancient Egypt, but I can't find a citation on that now. Charlie Smalls reportedly spent years working on a musical version of H.G. Welles' short story "The Man Who Could Work Miracles," but I don't think anything has ever surfaced from it.

And Roger Miller, of course, wasn't a musical theatre songwriter, and wrote very little at all in the few years between Big River and his premature death in 1992.
