* Summer in the City by Fracaswell Hyman is a good one. It’s about theater and a Disney/Bieber like performer.
* The Magic in Changing Our Stars by Leah Henderson is about a boy who is trying out for the part of the Cowardly Lion in his school’s version of The Wiz and whose grandfather didn’t take a chance to perform with Bill “Bojangles” Robinson.
* Martin McLean Middle School Queen by Alyssa Zaczek is about a boy finding his identity as a drag performer/singer.

Not sure Drama by Raina Telgemeier or Upstaged by Jeff Anderson meet your criteria.

I’ve read and loved Genesis Begins Again, All Summer Long, and Echo! Amina’s Voice, The Prettiest, and The Lonely Heart of Maybelle Lane all sound great! Thanks for the excellent post!
