Does anyone have suggestions for trios for three men? We are flexible tenor/baritones. Trying to pull together a cabaret shows as a fundraiser.

Pretty Lady from Pacific Overtures. I sang it with two other guys for a cabaret show once and it was received well. The only other trio song we could think of was Fugue for Tinhorns.

"Fathers of Fathers" from Closer Than Ever (Maltby/Shire)
There are few, I think, trios for men in Most Happy Fella - "Spozalizzio".

"One More Walk Around the Garden" from Carmelina. A very beautiful song. Sung by the three fathers.

Just my opinion, I may be wrong.

TWOGAAB "A Class Act" will never die!

Friendship from ANYTHING GOES is typically sung by two guys and one girl, but you could easily drop Reno's octave and have three guys sing it. I think it would work well for what you're trying to do...

"Annie Doesn't Live Here Anymore" lyrics by Johnny Burke (sung in the Broadway revue "Swinging on a Star") has a nice three part harmony.

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.

I recently performed 'There Is Nothing Like a Dame' from South Pacific as part of a trio in a cabaret show.

I love all male threesomes. Actually, the more the merrier.

The truly beautiful should be lawfully restricted from wearing clothing; and the truly butt-ugly should be lawfully mandated from going naked.

"I recently performed 'There Is Nothing Like a Dame' from South Pacific as part of a trio in a cabaret show."

I suppose you could also sing Bloody Mary as well, but it would take a lot of playing around with.

For a laugh, you could do either "You Could Drive a Person Crazy" or "Sing For Your Supper."

I've done both (dressed as "three guys" not in drag), and they went over well.

If you want something a little more operatic, there are the over-the-top Italian tenor trios from "The Most Happy Fella"---"Abbondanza," and I forget the other one...

"Jaws is the Citizen Kane of movies."

I think that Little Tin Box from Fiorello is a trio- great song too...

Another female one you could do for laughs is "The Tea Party" from Dear World.

I have several names, one is Julian2. I am also The Opps Girl. But cross me, and I become Bitch Dooku!

"New York, New York" from On the Town might be ideal.

Also, speaking of Bernstein, you could probably do "Gee, Officer Krupke!" effectively with just three guys.

If you can get hold of it, an odd but effective (if obscure) trio would be "There She Is" from A Doll's Life.

"Heart" could be done three guys.

And then there's "Sorry/Grateful."

And following the theme suggested by others, you could do "Matchmaker, Matchmaker" or, for something a bit obscure, "What Do You Think About Men?" from Out of This World.
