Best Musicals for Same-Language-Subtitling

A Listmania! list by G. McCall "subtitling nut"

   

  "Same-Language-Subtitling (SLS) is the practice of using high quality text subtitling and video editing technologies (comparable to Karaoke) with music video and multi-media presentations as a repetitive reading resource. The activity combines captioned music videos with a response worksheet to create group rehearsed reading exercises. In other words --learn to read by watching musicals!"

These are my recommendations -- there are many more possibilities.
