| Audiences did talk through overtures even then, at least if I can trust anecdotal evidence, including some of the great ones. But I like overtures, too, as I just posted in reply to BigM. It was unusual for a show back then not to have an overture. Not quite unheard of, but unusual. |

| I remember a letter to the Times Arts and Leisure section, probably appearing in the summer of '62, in which the writer complained of hearing "not one bar" from the overture to "Milk and Honey" at a then-recent matinee. Wanna bet you can find it, AlanScott? lol | |
