Define LOTS?
Legally Blonde
Rock of Ages
Edwin Drood
Curtains.
It's more common, IMO, that musicals TEND to have many than the other way
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?
These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

Something Rotten has many principal roles - Nick, Nigel, Shakespeare, Nostradamus, Bea, Portia and Brother Jeremiah being the most prominent, then there's Shylock, Lord Clapham and the Minstrel.

I mean, Hamilton? Right? Not sure what your qualification for "lots" is.

DAMES AT SEA is an all-principal show. Only six characters, so probably doesn't meet the definition of "lots', but all are considered leads.

Follies, Company, Assassins (Wow Sondhiem heaven since someone else already said Into The Woods)
Hello, Dolly! and Pippin (depending on what "lots" is)
