Favorite Chorus numbers

[Emilia]

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'

Awesome choices so far. Both of mine have been mentioned, but I was going to say "Sunday" from Sunday in the Park with George and "Prologue: Ragtime" from Ragtime.

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:
