Episode 16: Takarazuka OG Shows
In this episode, we talk about some of the differences between Takarazuka and OG shows, the challenges actresses face when moving on from Takarazuka in their careers, and some great shows that were never sold or broadcast!
CORRECTIONS:
1- Becca meant to say she saw Mizu’s first show as a top star, not her first show as an otokoyaku!
2- August: Osage County was originally a play. It was later adapted into a movie.
3- Names we promised to look up: Nakagawa Akinori was the actor Carly kept mentioning; Kusakari Tamiyo is the well-known ballet dancer from Shall We Dance / the Red Team version of Grand Hotel.
