Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Takarazuka Revue has operated since 1914 with a strict all-female cast, creating Japan's most devoted — and occasionally obsessive — fan culture, complete with specific etiquette for performer fandom.
The Snow Troupe is traditionally considered Takarazuka's 'secondary' troupe but has cultivated a reputation for the most technically demanding dance numbers — this film essentially showcases their revenge arc.
