...What happened next, was stranger still, a woman breathless and afraid, appeared out of the night, completely dressed in white. She had a secret she would tell, of one who had mistreated her. Her face and frightened gaze, my mind cannot erase...But then she ran from view. She looked so much like you...

Most of you guys are just naming your favorite performers in your favorite musicals. Most of these are HARDLY trios.

Not sure what you mean, Lost--- Why are they "hardly trios"?

Its all subjective anyway.... thats the fun in it--

And yes, most of them are going to be from our favorite musicals-- it would be pretty difficult to have a favorite trio from a musicial that you hated.
