The recent off Broadway show The Woodsman had zero dialogue and very little music tthehttp://thewoodsmanplay.com/

I think the OP was looking for shows where nothing is said at all rather than shows where everything is sung.

Ah, I think that you may be right, apologies to the OP.

Che in "EVITA" speaks. He talks during the instrumental break in the song "Buenos Aires".

Technically, all of those plays have some sort of "dialogue." Even if they're part of a song or underscored by music. It would be super helpful if the OP could be a bit more clear....

Do they still perform or have they gone silent?

I really wouldn't consider Blue Man Group, Stomp, or Fuerzabruta to be musicals. Or even theatre.

The classic Cirque du Soleil shows up to around 2001-2002 had a variation on this, with singing and dialogue in "Cirque-ese," the invented nonsensical language that depends more on sound and tone than any actual meaning or language construct. Singers would vocalize wordlessly on some songs and sing "lyrics" in Cirque-ese on others, while the clowns and occasional "characters" would dialogue in Cirque-ese almost exclusively.
