Takarazuka

Takarazuka Review

Japan's all-female theater troupe was founded in the Osaka suburb of Takarazuka in 1913 and has been going strong ever since. Today it has not one but five companies, one of which has a permanent home in Tokyo at the 2,069-seat Tokyo Takarazuka Theater. Where else but at the Takarazuka could you see Gone With the Wind, sung in Japanese, with a young woman in a mustache and a frock coat playing Rhett Butler? Advance tickets are available only through the Playguide agency (03/3561-8821), with any remaining tickets sold at the theater box office on the second day.
