Description
On-screen: Annie's name in lights
Description: As we see Annie's name in lights on a Broadway sign ("Adam Frink Presents Annie Snodgrass in Silver Threads - A Fantasy in Music"), we hear Steiner's King Kong March played (the same music that was used for Kong's debut on Broadway); this is probably an inside joke, but the music works well here, too; after the fanfare, the music is pretty hard to hear under the crowd noise, but it continues throughout
Analysis: The march features an introductory fanfare followed by an A section in D minor and a B section in D major
