Takarazuka takes on Korean drama
Mon, June 2, 2008 (12:19am EDT)


Next year, the Takarazuka Revue celebrates its 95th anniversary, which it will celebrate with a series of productions. The first is a stage version of the Korean drama series "Tae Wang Sa Shin Gi," also known by the English title "The Legend." Flower Troupe top stars Sei Matobu and Ayane Sakurano will star, while Shuichiro Koike directs.

"The Legend" originally aired in Korea from September to December of last year, and is currently being broadcast in Japan on NHK. The show has been fairly popular, partly due to starring actor Bae Yong Joon.

Performances of the play will start on January 1, 2009 in Takarazuka, Hyogo, and will move to Tokyo on February 13.

Oh...yes, just in case you are wondering about the Takarazuka Revue, here's info from Wikipedia : The Takarazuka Revue (宝塚歌劇団 Takarazuka Kagekidan) is a Japanese all-female musical theater in the city of Takarazuka, Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan. Women play both male and female roles in lavish, Broadway-style productions - most of their plays are Western-style musicals, and sometimes they are stories adapted from shōjo manga and folktales of China and Japan. Their fans are mostly female.
