- The first and best option
for seeing Takarazuka is to reserve your tickets by
phone.

- Click to the
English section of the Takarazuka official homepage to
see what musicals are currently being performed:

If you're
planning ahead and would like titles & dates for
shows in a later time period than that of the site

-
- You can call in
English to order tickets by phone up to 2 months in
advance of the opening day for a show. Say which day you
want tickets for. If requesting tickets in a section that
has a choice of 1st floor and 2nd floor (balcony), you
will be asked which you'd like.
-
- Don't be
discouraged from calling because of the sentence on the
official site which instructs you to call in Japanese. I
began talking in Japanese once, and the woman asked me if
I spoke English; we preceeded to make the reservation in
English instead.
-
- Make sure to
call the theatre for the performance you wish to see -
there is a separate phone number for each.
-
- I highly
recommend ordering tickets ahead of time, because you
won't know if the seats will be sold out on the day you
go. You don't need to pay for the tickets until you
arrive; if you call by phone the tickets are simply
reserved for you. You'll be given a reservation number,
which you present at the ticket counter.
-
- You may need to
call numerous times; I called every few minutes one
evening in order to get through. The line is usually
busy. You'll want to call in advance, because when I was
in Japan and tried to call for tickets a few days ahead
of time I wasn't able to get through.
-
- If you are going
to Takarazuka as a member of the press, I expect you can
get free tickets. A woman writing for a French magazine
asked me about press privileges and was able to get two
tickets even though the show was sold-out to the public,
as well as arranged an interview with a Takarazuka star.
