"Romeo and Juliet"
Roméo & Juliette"Romeo and Juliet"
This new musical by Gérard Presgurvic, based on William Shakespeare's "Romeo & Juliet," was first performed by the Star troupe in 2010, with Shuichiro Koike in charge of ornamentation and direction. After receiving rave reviews for the wonderful songs and beautiful love story, the Snow troupe, Moon troupe, and then the Star troupe put on further performances of the musical from 2011 through 2013. The response was again ecstatic. "Romeo and Juliet" became a major Takarazuka Revue hit with fans clamoring to see it again.
The Takarazuka Revue has decided that in 2021, the time will be ripe for another run by the Star troupe. Makoto Rei, who made a vivid impression with her portrayal of Romeo in the Future Stars Performance of 2013, will reprise her role as the male lead, but now as the Star troupe's top star. The Takarazuka Revue welcomes audiences to again take in this definitive love story we all know, where there is beauty even in life's passing.
