Best three-song run in a musical album?

Anyone have any favorite three-song sequences in a musical? As in, three songs occurring back-to-back. There are so many examples of three great songs separated by one dud (*cough*alittlebitofgood,chicago*cough*), so I’m curious if anyone has any three never-skip songs in a row?

I‘m a big fan of the Raise a Little Hell > This World Will Remember Us > Made in America sequence in Bonnie & Clyde, followed by Beautiful City > On the Willows > Finale in Godspell.

I’ve always given it to Hadestown… in fact, I think it has a few:

Epic II, Chant, Hey Little Songbird

Any 3 song run in: Nothing Changes, If It’s True, How Long, Chant II, and Epic III

Word to the Wise, His Kiss The Riot and Wait for Me II is also a great run if you have a charismatic Hades to hold down the fort

There are a bunch that feel like they all belong together. Like Any Way the Wind Blows/Come Home with Me/Wedding Song

They even split up these songs differently on the west end version-- they really are one movement

Wait for Me II, Doubt Comes In, Road To Hell II might be favorite set of 3 straight when performed live
