"Well, the show itself doesn't really end with a song, but the last song in The Music Man is Harold Hill's reprise of 'Till There Was You'."

Seems to me a lot of shows listed in this thread actually have an additional scene after the last number. As we all know, there is a short scene after "Rose's Turn". Even MY FAIR LADY, however brief Eliza's return may be, doesn't really end with the solo.

Shows where the final curtain falls on the applause for a solo seem much rarer, if that's what the original poster intended. As noted above, FUNNY GIRL fits. Also MARCH OF THE FALSETTOS.

The first thing that came to mind was my old VHS copy of Mary Martin in PETER PAN. I'm not sure if the stage version ends the same way since I have never seen it, but I can never forget Mary Martin singing that last bit - "...in Never Never Land!"

Does it count if like Company they actually finish with a group reprise--or is that basically curtain music (and there is a final, short scene).

Umm, probably too obscure, but Positive Role Model from Closer to Heaven immediately popped in my mind.

I may be mis-remembering, but what about something like Phantom's very brief end reprise of Music of the night? Similarly I'm pretty certain that Aspects of Love ends with yet another reprise of the one song I dislike in the show, Love Changes Everything.
