Ovrtur.com is an ever-growing online database dedicated to the documentation and celebration of musical theatre productions from around the world. Founded in 2009, Ovrtur was created by a team of theatre historians, collectors, and enthusiasts who saw the need for a detailed, centralized archive focused specifically on musicals—from Broadway and the West End to regional, tour, and international productions.
Unlike general theatre databases, Ovrtur offers in-depth records of musical productions, including full cast and creative team listings, opening and closing dates, production credits, song lists, recording information, playbill scans, and extensive touring histories. Whether you’re researching a Broadway revival, a long-lost tryout, or a regional debut, Ovrtur is built to provide a detailed look at the lineage and life of each show.
What sets Ovrtur apart is its commitment to accuracy, completeness, and nuance. The database is carefully curated and continuously updated, drawing on primary sources, archival research, and contributions from a dedicated community of theatre professionals, scholars, and fans.
Since its launch, Ovrtur has grown into a trusted resource for journalists, academics, dramaturgs, and theatre lovers alike. Our mission is to preserve the living history of musical theatre—on stage and behind the scenes—for current and future generations.
Explore. Discover. Revisit. Welcome to the world of musical theatre on Ovrtur.com.
