Notes: Oh, it seems... it might actually be working! I'm using a proxy to log in to livejournal from China, since the site is oddly blocked from inside the country. But I promised a running report on Takarazuka's production of "El Halcon" as news becomes available, so hopefully this will stay stable long enough for me to post! :D
A press conference was held about the upcoming show. The top male-role player (Aran Kei), the top female-role player (Toono Asuka), and the second-rank male-role player (Yuzuki Reon) all attended, as well as the director and Aoike-sensei herself. It was revealed that the main role will indeed be Tyrian, while the main female role will be Gilda. In Takarazuka, having a "dirty hero" is a rare thing. Yuzuki will play Red. (Actually, it appears that Luminous Red Benedict has been renamed for the production to Luminous Red Drake.)
There is a head shot and a group shot with Aoike-sensei, as well as the actresses and various staff members. She's so tiny! Maybe someone else will translate this article, but I will also try to translate it if no one else has gotten to it. I'm at a loose end for several days until we get back to the States.
There looks to be a peak shot of the poster for the production at the beginning of the article, though it hasn't officially been posted to the Takarazuka Revue web site yet.
ETA:
Things I forgot to add:
Another report covering the press conference, this time from the official Takarazuka website. And they just posted the page for the Takarazuka Grand Theater run, if you want a slightly better look at the costumes.
Tickets for the Takarazuka run (11/2 - 12/15) go on sale starting on Sept. 29th. Tickets for the Tokyo run (1/2 - 2/11) go on sale Nov. 25th.</p>
