Shows with only 2-3 male singers with many female singers?

Does anyone have some good suggestions for musicals with only a few male singing roles (2-3) with many female singing roles? This seems to be our typical search for our annual fall musical at my high school.

MILLIE is a good show. ANYTHING GOES has lots of parts for females. And, you can switch around some of the support parts to females. I just did BACK TO THE 80's and that's not a good choice for you. I'm doing GODSPELL for some of the same reasons, however, I'm giving it a face lift and bringing into modern day; like the revival that was suppose to be on broadway last year.

Also, some shows work just fine in school settings with a woman playing a male character. We've had many female Music Men and Willy Wonkas.
As long as you don't change the gender of the character and/or any lines, (IE - It's still Mr. Willy Wonka - a male character, just played by a female actor) it often works very well.
