Takarazuka Revue's 100th anniversary stage production "CHICAGO" (OG version) collaborates with Shinjuku Isetan

Sep 7, 2014

This year marks the 100th anniversary of the Takarazuka Revue, and the Broadway musical "CHICAGO," featuring former Takarazuka Revue stars, will be performed in Tokyo, Osaka, and Aichi Prefectures, kicking off at the Tokyo International Forum on November 1st. Including the Tokyo homecoming performance, the show will run until December 19th. Ahead of the event, an event will be held at the West Park on the 4th floor of the main building of the Isetan Shinjuku store, allowing visitors to experience the world of the story for the first time. The event will run from September 17th to 23rd, featuring costumes worn on stage and an exhibition of photos from the production. The costume exhibition corner will introduce the roles of the main cast members. Additionally, Le Salon Jacques Borie on the 4th floor of the main building will offer a special CHICAGO-inspired cake. The highlight of the sales corner will be clothing recommended by the actresses who starred in the show. The actresses coordinated their outfits themselves using items from brands like ANTEPRIMA, EPOCA, and BLANC LE BILLET. Also available are fashion accessories like a rose corsage (¥9,000) perfect for a dressy look, a round pink bracelet (¥5,500) from DANIEL SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS, and small items like silicone iPhone cases (black, gray, pink; ¥5,000 each) and crystal notebooks (black, gray, pink; ¥5,500 each), also from DANIEL SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS. A variety of items perfect for the world of Takarazuka Revue will be on sale. Customers who purchase items will receive a limited-edition "CHICAGO" clear case shopping bag exclusive to the venue (while supplies last). Of course, there will also be special events where you can see the former top stars up close. The event will feature a talk show featuring Kozuki Wataru and Takashiro Kei, who will talk about all things Chicago (starting at 2pm on September 18th). Participation is limited to those who have won the lottery. Participation in the lottery is open to those who gather at the entrance to the parking lot on the first floor of the main building of Isetan Shinjuku by 10am on September 18th. The lottery will begin at 10am and the winners will be decided.
