"Henry Street" from FUNNY GIRL
"Voulez-Vous" from MAMMA MIA!

"Do You Hear the People Sing?"

"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).

I have to second 'Good Morning Baltimore' from Hairspray. <3

I reiterate "Belle" from Beauty and the Beast and "Downtown" from Little Shop.

[BroadwayEnthusiast2]

I agree with all of EugLoven's choices.

Performing Iowa Stubborn was one of my favorite parts of being in The Music Man! I had totally forgotten about it until now.

I immediately thought of Eastwick Knows, from The Witches of Eastwick.

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

'Belle' from Beauty and the Beast, by far.

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
