Presumably this poster is talking about the quantity of players rather than square footage! South Pacific... hands down.

If you mean shows that are on or have recently closed on broadway then:

Phantom of the Opera
Beauty and the Beast
South Pacific
Gypsy
Young Frankenstein
The Producers
Jekyll and Hyde

Then some shows with large-ish pits:
The Little Mermaid
The Lion King
Les Mis

Young Frank reduced the size of their orchestra a while back. By how many I don't know.

White Christmas and Wicked are the other two current shows with pits that are around 24. West Side Story will have 30 when it gets here.

Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop.
