Many a musical doesn't make the audience wait to hear the ensemble sing. So, it'll start the very first scene (possibly after a short prologue) with a Crowd Song. Often includes solo verses to help introduce the characters. See also the Opening Ballet. |

A semi-aversion in Thoroughly Modern Millie: The show starts of with Millie singing "Not for the Life of Me", a full song and a separate track on the CD, as a solo, but it segues directly into the choral title number. Interestingly, even though the tracks are listed separately on the original cast recording, if you listen to only the song "Thoroughly Modern Millie", you will still hear Millie sing the last note of "Not for the Life of Me". | |

Hamilton starts with "Alexander Hamilton," a song describing the first 19 or so years of Hamilton's life from his birth to his travel to America, told verse by verse by each of the other actors save the ones playing Angelica and Peggy/Maria. It ends with each actor briefly - and dramatically - stating their relation to Hamilton (deliberately written so that their statement applies equally to both characters for the actors who play more than one). | |

Subversion: "An Opening For A Princess" doesn't open Once Upon a Mattress, despite its title and full ensemble participation; it's even the second song in the show, since the prologue already has "Many Moons Ago." | |

Cesare - Il Creatore che ha distrutto opens with a scene from when Cesare was an infant, with the chorus singing about the illegitimate child, the proof of sin. Cesare's father sings about their family and the position he aims for, and the chorus echoes him. The straightforward, traditional kingly sound to the music contrasts with the cardinal acknowledging his illegitimate children and saying the church is just another kingdom. Then, time skips to 1491, the teenaged Cesare enters, and introduces himself with a rock-styled solo that contrasts in every way. | |

"Cotton Blossom" from Show Boat, notable for having its opening lines Bowdlerised. Original lines: "Colored folks work on de Mississippi / Colored folks work while de white folks play". (The original original lines didn't use the words "colored folks.") Bowdlerised lines: "Here we all work on the Mississippi / Here we all work while the rich folks play". |
