Although a lot of Broadway shows are centred around solo parts a good chorus number can make or break a show, so I was just wondering what are anyone's favorite chorus numbers?
Personally I never get tired of 'Springtime for Hitler' in 'The producers'

"The Hills of tomorrow" (Merrily we roll along), "The luckiest Man in the World" (the baker's wife), "Evoe for the dead" (the frogs) to mention but a few more...
Definitely "Springtime For Hitler", also, "Do You Hear The People Sing?"
And I wouldn't call this a "chorus" song, exactly but, I looooovvvee in "Love Is My Legs" when the chorus comes in.

Though I don't care much for "Phantom" or "Les Miz" I have to agree that "Masquerade" and "One Day More" are great numbers. I also like "Snuff the Girl" and "Run Freedom Run" from "Urinetown." Here are a few others I love:
"Jubilation T. Cornpone"-Li'l Abner
