| Description |
"In the summer of 2010, the Takarazuka Revue produced the first Japanese version of the French musical Romeo & Juliette, composed by Gerard Presgurvic. ...it was clear that an element to the show touched on something deep within the Japanese consciousness. ... I argue that their 2010 performance of Romeo & Juliette was devised to build national awareness of the population crisis by discouraging divorce, suicide, and low birth rates 'caused' by the predominately female audience." |
