Sung-through

Sung-through (also through-sung) refers to a musical or opera with little or no spoken dialogue. Conversations, speeches and musings are communicated musically though a combination of recitative, aria and arioso. A few examples of sung-through musicals would be: Rent, The Phantom of the Opera, Les Misérables, Evita, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, and Miss Saigon.
