It was an instrumental medley. A lot of it was the overture and entr'acte.

Thanks - are you aware of a video clip available online somewhere? I searched but didn't find anything.

BWW has a compilation here, but my adblocker isn't showing any of the videos. Maybe you'll have better luck?

This isn't yesterday's Olympic performance but a qualifying performance. If you look at the date the video was posted it's not yesterday. It's a reasonable approximation, but the Olympic performance is actually even more impressive.

Posted: 2/12/18 at 11:34amYes this was her performance from the USA Nationals. Her historic jump was not well done in this one. Yesterday it was perfect. You can hear the music in question though.

Posted: 2/12/18 at 11:47amGo to the NBC site. They (and the IOC) have anything posted elsewhere removed very quickly.

It's been nice to hear some Broadway over the weekend during some of the Olympic routines. Besides Nagasu's awesome routine to Miss Saigon, there was also the U.S. pairs couple (the Kneirem's) who did their free program to selections from Ghost the Musical - which I thought was a beautiful use of that score. Also the top Canadian dance couple's routine to Moulin Rouge (ok, not technically Broadway... but nearly!)
