Obviously the one way to counter it is to have the Takurazuka Revue do this as well. Surprised

Reminds me of a time when back in the shakespeare era (and before) women weren't allow to theater perfomance so all the girl roles were played by man.

Also true at times for the Kabuki theater.

But did Shakespeare ever have them wear the Ashford girl uniforms, hmmm?



Now imagine this Japanese stage musical with that................. Hopefully there won't be any school scenes, please! Laughing

No Shakespeare didn't have male actors wear an outfit that didn't exist at the time. If this is going to a battle of obtuse questions then I can play along and provide obtuse answers.

Call me when they get female actors for the female characters next time because I know that I am not a part of the target audience here. Really, this is too ridiculously hilarious to think about.

The best part is that the actors playing the male roles generally look more feminine than those playing the females. Very Happy
