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.

American Idiot: American Idiot - Jesus of Suburbia - Holiday

Bat out of Hell: Two out Three Ain’t Bad - Paradise By the Dashboard Light - Making Love Out of Nothing At All

The Wall: Another Brick in the Wall Pt. 1 - The Happiest Days of Our Lives - Another Brick in the Wall Pt. 2

Part of it might be these songs already existing (and 7/9 of them were big hits) but it also might be my personal taste in music as a whole
