Why is Curly a Woman?!: Presentationality and Nostalgia in the Takarazuka Revue
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- In this essay, I use an analysis of the presentational theatrical elements of Takarazuka musicals to enter into a discussion about how and why the Revue evokes nostalgia for a very specific image of American culture in their stage production of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s American musical classic "Oklahoma!".
