Jukebox musicals with an overture?

I forgot to mention: I was surprised that the show started with a true overture (not underscoring to action on stage, but an orchestra playing a jukebox musical's songs while the stage is empty). Are there other jukebox musicals that start with an overture? It seemed very strange to hear familiar, non-original songs woven together like that.
