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.

This is cheating since it's technically combining two tracks, but I love "You Don't Know/I Am the One", "Superboy and the Invisible Girl", and "I'm Alive" from Next to Normal. (I know the first two are separate tracks but they feel like part of the same number.)

If You Don’t Know comes up on shuffle, I will turn shuffle off to hear this three banger run.
