I love all the ensemble numbers in Thoroughly Modern Millie, but Forget About the Boy is my favorite ensemble number. And another favorite is the Finale in Les Miz. True they all juist kind of stand there, but it's a chilling song, and a truly unbelieveable finale to an unbelieveable show.

I agree with the choices already made. I love "La Vie Boheme" from Rent as well. It is possibly my favorite number from the whole show. "You Can't Stop The Beat" from Hairspray is amazing as well, and very powerful. Than, there's "Thoroughly Modern Millie" and "Forget About The BOy", which are both great as well.
But If I had to narrow it down to one it would be:
"42nd Street"- 42nd Street.
The dancing, singing and costumes are amazing and everytime I watch it/ listen to it I get chills. The same goes for "Audition" from 42nd Street. That is quite an impressive number as well.

"Hello Twelve, Hello Thirteen, Hello Love" is also absolutely amazing. It's very comedic as well.
