Here's a preview of the text for the writing challenge, when you're ready click the start button above:

- I would love to write my own musical! I even have a few topic ideas that I could use for my story. - Really! What would be your favourite idea? - I've always thought that "20,000 Leagues under the sea" would make a beautiful musical. - What a spectacular idea! Jules Verne's universe is so mesmerising! - Yes, the Nautilus would be the main set, and I would use (some) puppetry to animate the creature's giant tentacles. - That would impress everyone! If you composed the music, I could help you write the lyrics. - Why not? Let's try and write a musical!
