"Schindler's List" would have to be the all-time tackiest choice.

I should have considered movies partly or largely in sign language, although maybe some of them could work or have been done. (A couple of these I discovered on looking up the Wikipedia category)

Be With Me (Singaporean)
Children of a Lesser God

Deafula - I'd never heard of it, but a musical version would seem to miss the point as it was like an "All Sign Language Vampire movie."
Dear Frankie (British)
Hear and Now (American documentary)
Land of Silence and Darkness (German documentary)

Although it does not involve the deaf and it had music doing "Into Great Silence", the documentary on Carthusian monks, as a musical could also seem to be off-point.

On the other hand, I think Apocalypse Now would be a good choice for a rock opera...
Not a rock opera, but...

Not sure those are good choices, but imagining any of them as musicals is weird to me this morning.
I hate every ape I see, from chimpan-A to chimpan-Z...

(to the tune of Amadeus by Falco) Dr. Zaius, Dr. Zaius, Dr. Zaius, Dr. Zaius, ohh ohhh, Dr. Zauis...

Oh my God, I was wrong. It was Earth all along. Well, you finally made a monkey out of me...

How about The Diary of Anne Frank? That'd be pretty tasteless.
