The 1927 premiere of “Mon Paris” marked the first Western-style revue in Japan, created by Tatsuya Kishida after his observation of Western theater, and the Takarazuka Revue has not stopped producing breathtaking revue shows since. To mark the 110th anniversary of the revue company, Takarazuka Revue will present a dazzling homage to its rich history and to those who shaped its journey spanning over a century.
Couples dancing in enchanting Paris, proud matadors standing in the bullrings of Granada, downtown youths dreaming of the skyscrapers in New York City… Waiting at the end of all these dreams, illuminated in magnificent light: Le Grand Escalier (the grand staircase)! Enjoy this performance studded with dreams, showcasing the most evocative, quintessential melodies that represent the Takarazuka Revue.

• Cosmos Troupe's first performance since the cancellation of the majority of Pagad / Sky Fantasy! in late 2023. In a statement that preceded the performance announcement, the Revue apologized to the bereaved family of the Cosmos Troupe actress that passed away, as well as to the fans for the many performance cancellations and postponements. As there is insufficient time to prepare both a play and a revue, Cosmos Troupe's return performance after half a year will consist of a revue only.
• Originally scheduled to appear in this performance, Mai Kokoro and Hiiro Fuuka announced their immediate retirements on 05/07/24, making Pagad / Sky Fantasy! their final performance on a Takarazuka stage.

• Announced 07/26/24: Rukaze Hikaru was announced as absent from the Tokyo run until further notice due to poor health (see above for role substitutions).
• Announced 08/02/24: Rukaze Hikaru will return to performing from 08/02/24.
