Musicals without Dancing

Saw "Waitress" yesterday (formulaic, but they do it well), and realized afterwards that although there were all those songs, there was very almost zero choreography. I mean, there's a choreographer listed in the credits, and there are non singing scenes that obviously required choreography, but there's no real dancing in the show.

Trying to figure out how common this is, looking for input from the crowd

Once had choreography.

Spring Awakening? (I kid! I kid! sort of) (*and yes, I know it won the Tony Award for Choreography)

ONCE had a great deal of Tony-nominated choreography by Steven Hoggett. I mean...I guess you could argue that it's more 'musical staging' than 'dance', but I wouldn't agree with you on that.

Even Les Miz had a little bit of waltzing in the wedding scene.

Sunday in the Park With George has mostly musical staging and very little (if any) dance. I might make the same argument about Passion, but I may just be drawing a blank.

Little Women is the only one that comes to mind - there's a brief dance break during 'Five Forever' but other than that, no dancing.

Yes, I agree with the statements about Once....but since it was non-traditional, I thought it might be what the poster was looking for.

Mr Roxy said: "I Do I Do"

I think there's choreography in I Do, I Do that qualifies as dancing.

I would add Les Miserables to that list. Unless you count the dancing in the wedding scene there really isn't much else.

Fun Home doesn't have too much...the kids at once point and then the retro number..

Wldhorn's Dracula & The Civil War ?

^ Well...sure. But there is a credited choreographer and those numbers have set choreography. It's not a lot, but it's there. I'd also argue that rent has choreography, particularly in Contact. I'd never call either of these dance musicals, but, as a musical actor who doesn't really do a lot of choreography, I couldn't do what those that little kid in Fun Home does...nor could I dance Contact in Rent. But the rest of newintown's list is pretty spot on.

Many of the shows listed were nominees for best choreography. Choreography means movement-I don't think of it always having to be 'dancing'. (Perhaps a more apt term here is dance-driven musicals or 'dance-heavy'?)

Next to Normal had a little choreography. I'm Alive and My Psychopharmacologist and I both had dancing (given it was very basic, but it existed none the less).
