Just noticed that Ragtime has nearly the same number of musicians in the pit as there are cast members on stage.
For you trivia buffs, what shows had larger pits than casts?
Thanks -

I don't know if you would call it a pit but aren't there more band members then cast members in Next To Normal?
Sorry, that was the first think that came into my head.
