i pulled it from a maiden in a tower
Jule Styne, Bob Merrill - Overture

“Overture” from PRETTYBELLE

I have no idea if this was even used during the show’s out of town tryout.  It’s not on the soundboard recording I have (though that doesn’t necessarily mean it wasn’t in the show), and director Gower Champion was one of the pioneers of Overture Cutting (even HELLO DOLLY has a brief “prologue” instead).  Regardless, I don’t know if an overture has ever made me more excited/intrigued to hear the rest of the score.
