You've written a hit musical! How will you avoid having fame go to your head?

I have written this musical, it's called "M.A.G.O.T.S" ---my gleeful musical interpretation of Stephen Crane's classic novel, Maggie, A Girl of the Streets!!! With numbers like "Oh Timmie, Baby, We Hardly Knew Ye" "Growler's Empty Again" and "Damnit All T'Hell, See, and Hully Gee for Me!" I am already anticipating a Tony.
