I believe the answer is:

camelot

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'american musical' is the definition.
'camelot' can be an answer for 'musical' (I've seen this before). I'm not certain of the 'american' bit.

'live hosted by church group' is the wordplay.
'live' becomes 'am' ('I live' means 'I am').
'hosted by' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'church' becomes 'ce' (abbreviation for Church of England).
'group' becomes 'lot'.
'am' inserted into 'ce' is 'came'.
'came'+'lot'='CAMELOT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for camelot that I've seen before include "King Arthur's capital" , "Place of truth and beauty in Arthurian legend" , "Scene of King Arthur's court" , "Arthur's or Kennedy's court?" , "romantic place" .)
