Gershwin–Funny Face, Overture, John Wilson 2012

We started listening to Funny Face with a medley of songs from the 1927 George and Ira Gershwin hit musical. Today, we’d like you to imagine that you are in the Alvin Theatre on opening night, the orchestra has stopped tuning up, the lights dim, the conductor raises his baton and the overture begins.

Here is John Wilson and his PROMS orchestra from 2012 as they play the Overture to Funny Face.
