I'm listening to Hey Mr. Producer, the musical world of Cameron Mckintosh(sp?) and theres a song sang by John Barrowman titled One Two Three, and I rather like the song but have no clue whatsoever as to what show its from. I figured someone here could help me.

It's from The Fix. There's a recording of the Original London Cast available also starring Philip Quast. It's actually not that bad, despite the show suffering a bit from not knowing what it's trying to be. There are a few good songs and the performances are overall outstanding.
Bumpedy-bump. Another Fix fan here! I actually woke up with 'Mistress Of Deception' in my head this morning, and now my brain's singing 'The Upper Hand'. XD
And another one! My gran took me to see The Fix when I was 15 but she didn't think to check the subject matter first, which made for an interesting evening! It does need some work, but I believe changes were made for the American premiere at Signature - would love to have seen what they made of it there...
Oh yes- a really great show and the London cast recording is fantastic with a stellar cast (incl. John Barrowman, Philip Quast, Kathryn Evans and Krysten Cummings).
All the best performers bring to their role something more, something different than what the author put on paper. That's what makes theatre live. That's why it persists.

I also LOVE that show. I think it has a wonderful score. Too bad there isn't a vocal selections book available. In addition to the aforementioned songs I love "I See the Children" and "Simple Words".
