I'm looking for Broadway songs for trios that anyone can think of. my two friends and i always sing trio's at our school concerts and we need more suggestions! So far we have sung: Three Little Maids from School, Mama I'm a Big Girl Now, You Could Drive A Person Crazy, Matchmaker, and Little Shop of Horrors. Any others?

Not my favorite song - but "I Feel Pretty" from West Side story, although written for four, could easily be done by three instead. Also, think of some ensemble numbers that you like. If they have a two or three part harmony, and lend themselves well to a smaller group of singers, just go for it.

If you have a guy, you could do A Step Too Far from Aida, but from the songs you have listed, I gather you don't. I'll try to think of another one.

Sing For Your Supper is a good one - gets pretty intricate and crazy with the jazzy harmonies and stuff, but I love it...
Never Never Land as it is in the show (if only the music were available...le sigh) from Piece is beautiful
I Want It All from Baby (might not be age appropriate though, not sure)
At The Ballet - oldie but goodie from A Chorus Line
There's Gotta Be Something Better Than This and/or Baby Dream Your Dream from Sweet Charity
I Wish I May and/or Make Him Mine from Witches of Eastwick
Somebody's Eyes from Footloose
Lotta Locomotion from Starlight Express
I've seen people do By My Side as a trio - just splitting up solos and stuff (usually only 2 people singing at one time until the ending and you put a 3rd person on one of the choral harmonies)
I gots millions more, PM me if you need more suggestions, lol
Hope that helps!

ooohh! Baby Dream Your Dream is a good one! Such a pretty little song and perfect for a trio.

I don't know if sheet music is available, but the Andrew Lloyd Webber "Love Trio" consisting of 'Love Changes Everything', 'Unexpected Song', and 'I Don't Know How To Love Him'. If you have a musician friend who could 'mesh' them together for you, it could maybe work.
There are a few in Dreamgirls:
"Move (Right Out of My Life)"
"Dreamgirls"
"Heavey" (if you can find it)
"One Night Only" (technically four, depends on the arrangement)
"Hard to Say Goodbye My Love"

"Anything for him" - KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN
"A Step too far" - AIDA
"Journey on" - RAGTIME
There was a thread on this a while ago. Do a search for it and you're likely to find it.
fugue for the tinhorns (Guys and dolls) its a great up beat fun number!
"Easy Street" from Annie
"Heart Full Of Love" From Les Miz

TONS of fun... in a dark, betrayed sorta way... hehe
"Three Friends" from Closer Than Ever.
It was originally written for three women, but being that they only had two in the show, they used a guy.
"Off-Time" from Ain't Misbehavin' - if you like to dance
