Either get hold of a copy of the Spotlight Directory or Writers Handbook. In these you will get the contact details for West End producers. Then send a synopsis to them and see what response you get.
An alternative would be to go to a local producing theatre first and talk with their Artistic Director as to whether they'd be interested in putting the show on. From here, if it did well, it may travel into the West End (don't forget that not all West End Musicals start life in the West End).

If I were you I would either telephone or write a letter to the theatre to explain your situation, hopefully they will give you an appointment to meet the producer.
Whatever you do, on no account, even if asked, do not post your story because that could be the last you see of it. If you do get to see anyone, make sure they don't take it away from you as they may photo copy it, and again that could be the last you see of it.
Try and find out about having it copyrighted.
Good Luck

Have a look in The Writers and Artists Yearbook (it will be available in your local library). That will have helpful advice on who to contact and how to do it. It has listings of all theatres that use new writing, and what sort of writing they look for. It's an invaluable book: good luck!

In a perfect world: you find someone creative who'll make your ideas into a musical with you, pay for it to be staged and invite producers along. They then pick your work up and make you famous. Look in Contacts for names, its the industry book published by The Spotlight.
