The Takarazuka Revue was established in 1934 as the base theater in Tokyo for the Takarazuka Revue, based in Takarazuka City, Hyogo Prefecture. The theater was rebuilt in 1998, and the curtains were reopened on January 1, 2001, at the dawn of the 21st century. From the entrance, the gorgeous red carpet and shining chandeliers are a fitting entrance to the world of dreams, creating a space full of a sense of the extraordinary.
The auditorium, which seats a total of 2,079, is designed in a two-tiered staggered-arrangement so that the stage can be easily seen from every seat. The theater is equipped with a stage system similar to that of the Takarazuka Grand Theater to support the powerful Takarazuka Revue stage.
The Takarazuka Revue has five troupes (Flower, Moon, Snow, Star, and Cosmos) and a special troupe of specialists who do not belong to any particular troupe, performing throughout the year, mainly at the Takarazuka Grand Theatre (Hyogo Prefecture) and the Tokyo Takarazuka Theatre (Tokyo). The theater continues to deliver spectacular dream performances with powerful live orchestral music and a state-of-the-art stage system that only a dedicated theater can provide.
