Abstract
The Takarazuka Revue, established in 1914 and extremely popular by the 1920s, remains a central part of Japanese musical theatre. The company performs all-female adaptations of both Western works and stories taken from Japanese culture. Takarazuka has its own training school for performers and offers an extraordinary case in entrepreneurship, for it was founded by a railway company.
