Takarazuka presents CHICAGO

The legendary stars who thrilled audiences for years as part of Japan’s famous musical theater troupe, the Takarazuka Revue, deliver a gorgeous production of the Tony Award–winning musical complete with Kander & Ebb’s classic songs—sung in Japanese—and Bob Fosse’s iconic choreography.

Experience the show-stopping glamour, eye-catching costumes, and gender-bending fun that draws 2.5 million audience members annually to performances by Japan’s Takarazuka Revue. Started by a railway magnate in 1914 to attract tourists to the hot springs town of Takarazuka, the all-female Takarazuka Revue has grown into a true cultural phenomenon, with a devoted fan base that clamors for the company’s sparkling adaptations of classic Western and Japanese stories, movies, and plays, and a cultural influence that extends into the realms of anime and manga.
