The Cold War plays into Chess and it's got lyrics by Tim Rice, who is lyricist for Evita as well, so you might like that. It's centered around a chess championship that gets a ton of media attention and is played up as a test of intellectual superiority between the US and USSR. The Russian wins, but then defects and runs off with a western woman. The original album would be a good place to start with that one, or if you'd rather watch something, the 2008 Chess In Concert which was released on DVD isn't too bad.
Cabaret has the rise of Nazi Germany going on, and Hair has the Vietnam war, but I'm guessing you're more looking for stories about characters who are themselves influencing politics, right? But if not, those are some suggestions too.
It looks like 2008 (you can YouTube it) and here's the cast recording. I originally caught it on PBS.
