Define LOTS?
Legally Blonde
Rock of Ages

Something Rotten has many principal roles - Nick, Nigel, Shakespeare, Nostradamus, Bea, Portia and Brother Jeremiah being the most prominent, then there's Shylock, Lord Clapham and the Minstrel.

I mean, Hamilton? Right? Not sure what your qualification for "lots" is.

DAMES AT SEA is an all-principal show. Only six characters, so probably doesn't meet the definition of "lots', but all are considered leads.
