Are All Popular Broadway Musicals Sung-through? Have you ever wondered whether all popular Broadway musicals are sung-through? In this video, we'll explore the different styles of musical theater and what makes each one unique. We'll start by explaining what a sung-through musical is and how it differs from traditional book musicals. You'll learn about iconic shows like Les Misérables, Cats, and Hadestown that tell their stories primarily through music and singing. We’ll also discuss the more common approach used in many Broadway productions, which combines spoken dialogue with musical numbers. Shows like Wicked, The Phantom of the Opera, and The Sound of Music use this mix to develop characters and make stories easier for audiences to follow. Whether a musical is sung-through or not depends on the story the creators want to tell and the experience they aim to create. Sung-through shows tend to offer a more intense, immersive experience, blending opera-like singing with theatrical storytelling. Book musicals provide a balance that helps audiences connect with characters and plot through a combination of dialogue and music. Both styles play important roles in musical theater, contributing to the variety and richness of Broadway productions.
