The dialogue is in Japanese, but at a recent dress rehearsal here, the attitude and staging wereall-American, loyal to Bob Fosse’s vaudeville-inspired production, which has been running on Broadway for two decades. 在宝冢歌剧团的音乐剧《芝加哥》(Chicago)中，由女演员饰演性感迷人的韦尔玛(Velma)和罗克西(Roxie)、趾高气扬的比利·弗林(Billy Flynn)和不幸愚蠢的阿莫斯(Amos)。对白是日语，不过在最近一次在横滨进行的带妆彩排中，从风格到舞台布景完全是美国式的，忠于鲍勃·福斯(Bob Fosse)以轻歌舞剧为灵感的创作——该剧在百老汇已经演了20年。 In Japan, Takarazuka is a phenomenon that rarely tours outside the country. 宝冢歌剧团很少在日本之外演出。 Founded in 1914 by a railway company that hoped to lure travelers to a struggling hot spring resort outside Osaka, the group began with a handful of teenage singers and dancers and staged its first performances in a converted swimming pool. A century later, Takarazuka operates five sub-troupes and puts on 900 shows a year, in company-owned theaters in Tokyo and its original western Japanese base. Most of the shows sell out. 该剧团1914年由一个铁路公司创建，目的是吸引游客前往大阪郊外一个生
