Musical Theater Supertitles

Musical theater supertitles are still relatively new. That said, more and more companies are seeing the benefit of providing supertitles for musical theater presentations. Some musicals such as Sweeney Todd have a large amount of text, often presented by opera companies. These presentations typically use operatically trained vocal artists. As more and more opera companies supplement their season with musicals to reach new audiences, providing supertitles becomes increasingly important.

In addition to ensuring your audience understands every sung word, supertitles also offer something even more beneficial: outreach to the hearing-impaired.
