so... what are some good choral musicals or even a big chorus number ... for example... Les Mis has quite a few numbers where everyone in the cast sings (One Day More being the big song), Miss Saigon (This Is the Hour, Morning of the Dragon), Martin Guerre (the Imposters), and Pirate Queen has some, huh? wow... boublil and schonberg write a lot of musicals with them now that I think of it... anyways... are there other shows with really good chorus songs (different than a company number... did that make sense?)

110 IN THE SHADE has some of the most beautiful chorus music written -- "Gonna Be Another Hot Day", "Everything Beautiful Happens at Night", "There's a Big Rain Comin'"... you'd be hardpressed to find stuff better and more truly integrated.

Does RAGTIME fit your criteria?
Or 'Sunday' from SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE?

if you want shows with big choral singing then Children of Eden is also a good one to think about.

Candide and Titanic are the first two that come to mind that have beautiful chorals.
