Bumping this because I was really taken by the Hello, Dolly! overture in the Shubert earlier this month. It just sounded so damn good. We don't get great overtures like that anymore.

I'm not going to say they're the "best," but my personal favorites are West Side Story for reminding me, every time I hear it, how much fantastic music there is to come, and Jesus Christ Superstar, because it's got a lot of good songs in the mix and builds to a wonderful conclusion that leads the audience right into the show.
