Shows with only 2 male singers with many female singers?
The question you're answering.
Does anyone have suggestions of good musicals with only 2-3 male singing roles with many female singing roles? I am constantly looking for these type of shows for our annual high school fall musical.

We just did Annie at our high school - we are all girls so everything we do is with an eye towards girls. Some past shows were Aida, Children of Eden, Sound of Music, Cinderella, Once on this Island, Fiddler.
May I suggest Suessical, Schoolhouse Rock LIVE, and Once on this Island. Many of the roles in these productions are not gender specific (ex: Cat in the Hat, the gods in Once on this Island, the teacher in Schoolhouse Rock LIVE). Many of the MTI shows allow for fluidity in casting-- the two fathers in The Fantasticks could be mothers, etc.
I just finished being a part of Singin' in the Rain and there's only 3 male singers/roles: Don Lockwood, Cosmo Brown, and the Production Singer for Beautiful Girl. It's a great show!
How about Thoroughly Modern Millie...lots of female roles and just a couple of male roles
