It is good to read widely so that we have a greater exposure to all the wonderful literature out there.

Actually come to think of it, a majority of musicals are adapted from something else, in some way or other. I think fully original musicals seem to be less common than “adapted” musicals.

Not to say that there aren’t any original musicals…but for every fully original musical, there seems to be a musical that was adapted in some shape or form.

This will let your mind develop more imagination and creativity.

Movies/TV helps too sometimes. Just like how Elton John was inspired to write for the Billy Elliot musical after he watched the film.
