Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Takarazuka Revue's Star Troupe is the top-tier company, and 'El Halcon' was a major vehicle for Makoto Rei before her retirement. The casting itself was considered event viewing.
Aoike Yasuko's manga 'El Halcon' and 'Seven Seas, Seven Skies' were never officially translated, making this musical many Western fans' only access point to the story.
