A stage can both be an escape for a woman or a place of infinite fantasy. The Takarazuka Revue is a very big and successful feast comprising of women only. The women play roles like erotic lover, vulnerable men here. This is also a indispensable world for young girls who madly desire to create a difference in their lives. In spite of their quite disciplined and enclaved social realities, they are appreciated and desired by thousands of Japanese women here. The girls, who don’t have men in their lives, dress like young men and bring them to life. Dream Girls questions sexual identity while studying the contradictory status of young women living in today’s Japan as well.
