The Takarazuka Revue (宝塚歌劇団 Takarazuka Kagekidan) is a Japanese all-female musical theater troupe based in Takarazuka, Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan. Women play all roles in lavish, Broadway-style productions of Western-style musicals, and sometimes stories adapted from shōjo manga and Japanese folktales. The company is a division of the Hankyu Railway company; all members of the troupe are employed by the company. The Takarazuka Revue's members presently comprise five troupes—Flower, Moon, Snow, Star and Cosmos—and the Senka, or "Superior Members." Each performance is conducted by one of these groups.
The Snow troupe was inaugurated in 1924, the year the Takarazuka Grand Theater opened. It was the first to perform "Elisabeth," but has also done many Japanese works, as exemplified by the success of "The Treasury of Loyal Retainers," "Jin" and "Ichimuanfuryuki Maeda Kenji."
