I would have to go with Songs for a New World:
King of the World-->I'd Give It All for You--> Flagmaker, 1775--> Flying Home (I know I said 3, but I had to add that.)
What are yours?

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Any three songs in any block on the Actor's Fund recording of Hair.
Particularly Hippie Life/Electric Blues/Black Boys and White Boys (I count them as one song, and if i could add Where Do i Go? at the beginning i SO would)
EDIT: Also, I Got Life/Goin' Down/Hair on ths same recording
and...this one's cheating...Heavy/Walkin' Down The Strip/It's All Over/And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going on the concert recording of Dreamgirls.

I'm not sure I have enough cast recordings to say fairly, but that's changing after Christmas. ;P
Choice between:
Diva's Lament/Where Are You?/His Name is Lancelot from Spamalot
Halloween/Goodbye Love/What You Own from RENT
Yep. I like to skip around a lot, though. I tend to listen to what I'm in the mood for.

I remember days
Or at least I try
But as years go by
They're sort of haze
And the bluest ink
Isn't really sky
And at times I think
I would gladly die
For a day of sky
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
And Starbucks will use the words 'large' and 'small', not pretentious crap like grande and tall.

Clara's Interlude/Love To Me/Fable - Piazza
Say it Somehow, Aiutami, and Light is wonderful as well, but since the Act II break is..briefly there, it doesn't "flow" as well as the above grouping. Who am I kidding, EVERY part of Piazza just works together so well.
What a Party/Raise the Roof/Look At Me Now - Lippa's Wild Party
This is my signature.

Posted: 12/21/05 at 7:45pmI was going to say the Urinetown one above (What is Urinetown-Snuff That Girl-Run Freedom Run!) and realized I can listen to that whole CD easily but those three (especially with Act One Finale at the beginning of the grouping) is probably the best

I'd have to go with: "Summer In Ohio"/"The Next Ten Minutes"/"A Miracle Would Happen" from TL5Y because of how "Summer" and "Miracle" mirror each other the way they are after and before TNTM.
TL5Y also wins for the most painful three song block with "Better Than That"/"Nobody Needs To Know"/"Goodbye Until Tomorrow/I Could Never Rescue You". My heart hurts just thinking about it.
EDIT to add: "All The Wasted Time"/"Sh'ma"/"Finale" from Parade. What a finale.
