Takarazuka Revue looks way more my speed and if the photos are anything to go by, the missus will love it too! Thanks so much to the both fo you for the suggestion!

My wife took Japanese theater classes in college (along with Japanese literature, etc) so she does have a bit of background, but I imagine I'd be bored stiff as well. In fact, the only reason I wanted to aim for Kyoto was because I thought the building looked more interesting and so I figured it might be fun to dress up and go for the history and cultural experience, knowing my wife would take more away. I'd admire the colorful clothes and sets, the surroundings, etc. Takarazuka sounds like something we'd both enjoy far more though! Any idea whether it can be booked online?
