There are plenty of musicals that make me think about Fëanoreans, but that's probably because lots of things make me think about Fëanoreans 😛
Short list:
West Side Story
The family of Fëanor is not entirely healthy. There is definitely a gang-like or cult-like vibe to it.
Newsies
The most innocent rebellion ever!
Les Mis
'Rich young boys' playing at being revolutionaries? Yes please! And of course they all mostly wind up dead. 'Red, a world about to dawn, black, the night that ends at last.' Aure entuvula!
Seven Brides for Seven Brothers
These seven brothers are a bit too cheerful about the story of the rape of the Sabine women.
The Pirates of Penzance
C'mon. They steal ships. They're pirates. (And good luck getting this one out of your head.)
Hamilton
It's more bits-and-pieces of this musical that I correlate to the Silmarillion, but the concept of 'who lives, who dies, who tells your story' seems to work for the Fëanoreans. "Every day you fight like you're running out of time." "I'll send a fully armed battalion to remind you of my love." "Dying is easy, young man, living is harder." "Rise up!" So many good snippets in this musical!
