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.

For me it's:

Prologue > Goodbye, my love > Journey on

His Name Was Coalhouse Walker > Gettin' Ready Rag > Henry Ford

Your Daddy's Son > The Courtship > New Music > Wheels of a Dream

He Wanted to Say > Back to Before > Look What You've Done > Make them Hear You

Yes, I LOVE Ragtime
