* 1995 B: As arguably the most recognizable Broadway variant, this was <u>exclusive to home video releases</u>. The gray text reading "{{Font|Times New Roman|'''The Audience Is Listening'''}}" is replaced with: <center>{{big|{{Font|Arial|Digitally mastered <br>for optimal video</br> and audio performance}}}}</center> in a rounded Arial Light font in white and arranged in the center of the outline. That text appears longer than the regular version, and "DIGITALLY" appears above the THX logo and "MASTERED" appears below that logo. Those texts fade in with the THX logo instead of appearing after the {{color|#0556af|blue}} outline disappears, and they sparkle while the THX logo shines. | * 1995 B: As arguably the most recognizable Broadway variant, this was <u>exclusive to home video releases</u>.
