what are some other sung through musicals out there... and i mean those that are pretty much all singing to very very minimal speaking dialogue... i know some are:

Miss Saigon
Les Miserables
Phantom (although it has like one scene where it's just talking)
Martin Guerre

And i haven't seen them in a while... but isn't Caroline, Or Change and Jane Eyre sung through?

There are a number of them...especially those ALW shows like JCS and Evita. I think Joseph is as well.

Dreamgirls is not sung through, or even mostly sung. There is a lot of dialogue in it.

Actually, that's my one quibble about Dreamgirls. It seems like Henry Krieger was trying to make up his mind whether or not to make Dreamgirls a sung through musical or not. It's weird. Was he trying to experiment. Because the musical inconsistency is the one flaw of Dreamgirls.

And there's a little dialogue in Aspects of Love. But not a lot.

"Then there are several by Joe Green (better known as Giuseppe Verdi), a few by Gilbert & Sullivan, some kid Wolf A. Mozart wrote a couple"

Are you being sarcastic? Because those particular musicals have a name. Yeah, they're called operas.

In one of its incarnations, CARRIE was sung through.

TEN COMMANDMENTS is another, although I'm not sure that works in its favour or not.

No, Jane Eyre has plenty of dialogue. As for C,oC, I have no clue.

Sweeney Todd is considered sung-through even with it's couple scenes of dialogue, as is Phantom. The Woman in White as well.
