What shows had more people in the pit than in the cast?

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.

Rooms had 2 cast members and about 5 in the pit.
"If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it." -Stephen Colbert
