It is the piece played at the beginning of the stage play.
Composition
"Overture" opens as a slow, orchestral piece, with a piano and various strings being prominent instruments; this gradually transitions into a more uptempo composition with prominent guitars and drums added to the mix, before slowing back down for a section focused on oboes, a glockenspiel and an acoustic guitar. Afterwards, the song returns to an uptempo sound before ending.
