| I adore the Chicago overture but in many ways it is unique because it doesn't really give you much of the songs that will be in the show - actually, none of them. So I would think that doesn't really count as an Overture... except that an overture is not defined by being music in the show to come, just music before the show. But in musical theater, it is. So I would say that Chicago has a prologue more than an overture. Like Follies or 1776. |
