| Chicago has an overture because that's what the writers named it. Same in 1776. In the same way, Follies has a prelude followed by an overture. That's what the writers chose to call these pieces. The "Fugue For Tinhorns" is not in any way a fugue, tinhorns or not. But no one's changing the title. |

| Then in Sweet Adeline, the overture is not a medley of the show's music, but rather a medley of hits from the 1890s (when the show takes place.) | |

| The overture to The Fantasticks is unrelated to any of the songs in the show. A few times the overture's theme is used as transition/incidental music in the course of the show, but it's never sung or developed further. | |

| The Candide overture does use some vocal themes from the show along the way, notably the fanfare-ish theme in "The Best Of All Possible Worlds" and of course "Glitter And Be Gay." | |

| Even more notably, the duet "Oh, Happy We", which takes up the entire 2nd theme area of exposition and recap of a sonata form. | |
