#I think it's interesting that someone involved in the musical in a Reuters clip was talking about competing with American theatre in NYC

Some people took videos from the audience of the Attack on Titan musical an put them on Twitter. I think it's interesting that they opted for putting the surtitles on either side of the stage instead of above. I wonder how they decided on that -- limitations of the venue, I presume, but I believe they also put subtitles for films at the side of the screen for deaf and hard-of-hearing folks in Japan, so that could also have something to do with it. I figured for opera (at least around here) they put them above the stage, though I haven't been to one before (that changes tomorrow, coincidentally), so that's what I would have expected.

Also I'm pretty sure the 2.5D audience in Japan would NEVER record videos of a performance, but I know it's not unheard of for people to do that in New York and elsewhere (either audio or video) so I guess it's not so surprising. I remember there were lots of videos of the songs in the Death Note musical after the performance in the UK.
