"Are you talking ensemble numbers?"

I imagine the OP specifically means 'townspeople' numbers.

I immediately thought of "Belle" from BATB, but I personally have a soft spot for "We'd Like To Thank You" from ANNIE (which has a town, of sorts).

Performing Iowa Stubborn was one of my favorite parts of being in The Music Man! I had totally forgotten about it until now.
I chose, and my world was shaken. So what? The choice may have been mistaken. The choosing was not.

Me too! Dirty Laundry and I Love the Little Town from the same show are also wonderful.

I know it's not a stage musical, but since it very well should be one, I'm adding Seize the Day from the Newsies
