The Girl With The Golden Hair

Before Kristina från Duvemåla, before Chess, certainly long before Mamma Mia, Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus of ABBA were experimenting with storytelling through music. As part of their 1977 world tour, ABBA closed out their shows with the mini-musical The Girl With The Golden Hair [~25m, illustrative video (not a live filming), 1977 bootleg-quality audio] (full lyrics).
The experiment and its quasi-autobiographical nature is explored in more detail in a 2006 documentary [~40m, in 3 parts: 1 2 3].
(The unreleased final song Get On The Carousel seems to have had some of its musical ideas reworked into Hole In Your Soul from The Album.)

Hole in your soul... I didn't know ABBA did the singing for the Chipmunks.

Kristina från Duvemåla is 3+ hours of the best music no one here will ever listen to.
