I believe each show has its own merit and can be even more successful in other countries or territories.–Koji Aoshika, Vice President, Asia-Pacific Region

Before MTI came along, foreign versions of Broadway musicals in foreign languages were rarely if ever done. Thanks to MTI, I’ve had the good fortune and fun to see my shows performed not only in foreign cities, but also in foreign languages—like Annie in Japanese in Tokyo, The Producers in German in Vienna and Berlin, and Young Frankenstein in Spanish in Buenos Aires.
