I'm searching for information about a musical called "Three".
I'm not certain, but I believe it premiered in Philadelphia, within the past few years.
You can imagine my frustration doing a search for "Three".

Is there a website devoted to World Premiere musicals?

It played at the Prince Music Theatre in Philadelphia, directed by Harold Prince. It also played at the Ahmanson in Los Angeles. There is a CD. That's all I know about it, but it should be enough to google on.

I've got the CD. Donna Lynn Champlin, Christopher Fitzgerald, and Jessica Molaskey were all in it. Listened to it for the first time the other night; pretty good music.

Cheers,

Christopher

The Flight of the Lawnchair Man is going to be in the New York Musical Theatre Festival this year. (I think - maybe it's the NAMT Workshop)

Many Thanks.

After someone was kind enough to PM me the correct spelling "3hree" I did a search. See Below:

3HREE
Prince Music Theater Presents
The World Premiere of three new one-act musicals

Prince Music Theater presents the world premiere of "3hree", an evening of three one-act musicals created especially for the Prince in order to introduce us to talented new creators of musical theater. However, there is one exception, Mr. Hal Prince, who directs one of the pieces, is not new to the theater. Before I talk specifically about each one, let it suffice to say that all three mini-musicals are splendidly mounted with colorful, inventive sets, costumes and choreography and that the cast is enormously talented as each member assumes diverse roles throughout the evening. There is a three minute pause between each piece while the actors change costumes, and stage crew members move scenery in full view of the audience. The invisible orchestra tunes up for the next overture, as the cyclorama is raised to reveal the back wall of the theater and we, the delighted audience, are allowed to watch the process of transmogrification.
