Phantom of The Opera. Just beautiful, and get you in the mood of the musical. I also like the intro to the second act.

"People that excel in the arts understand that the journey is the reward...the result an added bonus. Every day I act or train is a blessing and a dream come true. If Broadway beckons so be it. I have a personal definition of success that is unshakable by a possibly unobtainable goal." -HamletWasBipolar

South Pacific, hands down.
The Light in the Piazza is a close second, though.

An overture is an instrumental intro to a musical or opera.
In the case of musical theater, the overture was generally composed by the orchestrator, who took 4-5 of the songs (the ones that were most likely to have a shelf-life after the show closes) and combined them to make an orchestral suite.

Gypsy's is definitely the best. I also like The Drowsy Chaperone's and Phantom of The Opera's, though.
One time, Patti LuPone punched me in the face...
It was awesome. - theaterkid1015

1. Candide
2. Gypsy
3. Mack and Mabel
4. A Chorus Line
I had a the privilege of seeing Marvin Hamlisch conduct the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and they played the Overture from Chorus Line, which was cut before the show opened. It's really lovely.
