Brazen overtures seems to refer to "pick a little" song in the Music Man She made brazen overtures......


To seek revenge may lead to hell yet everyone does it but seldom as well......

We no longer have orchestras to play these overtures . These overtures were written for orchestras 26 to 28 people, unfortunately they now sound like a wedding band. The original Funny Girl orchestra had 25 musicians, the current production uses an embarrassing 14 . The original cast numbered 43 while the current production employs 22 . Producers get away with this since the public does not know any better. Huge ticket price increases, half the employees, quadruple profits. Very smart.
