Merrily, the original, had one of the best overtures ever created for a musical... and probably the best one since overtures largely went out of style a decade or so prior...
To mess with it is insane, and it's never been worth it.
And it didn't *need* to cut the Rich & Happy part... Follies didn't cut the "all things bright and beautiful" or "old piano roll" sections. An overture need not be exclusively a preview of tunes to come.
Also, pointless to say, but I also wish they'd put back Rich & Happy... That Frank is a meh song and terrible replacement for R&H. |
