Takarazuka Revue - Anyone else a fan?

So, over the weekend I came across the musical Elisabeth, in particular, the Takarazuka Revue Company's productions of it.  It's basically about teh love/hate affair that the Empress Elisabeth of Austria had with the figure of Death, all narrated by her killer the Italian rogue Lucheni.  I've sat and watched yesterday (and finished watchign the end today) of the 2014 production.  All I can say is wow, this is brilliant.  My favourite song is 'Yami ga hirogaru', which is sung by Elisabeth's son Rudolf and Death.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAA! I could only see the posters and some news clips from Japanese channels.
I need to watch any of their shows.
As a whole all Japanese only musicals fascinate me. There are too many that I need to watch on my bucket list.

I'll send you some links.  Youtube happens to have a few complete ones, including the 2014 production of Elisabeth (the vid I posted is from that production), Romeo and Juliet, Phantom of the Opera (not the ALW version though).  It's just sad that the dvds alone are so expensive, and lack subs.  Oh well.  I'll have to settle with youtube, and the soundtrack cd.  No, this is not in the slightest bit inspiting me for Halloween... honest.....

Thanks dearie~!
I'll wait for those links on my pm. :)
I'm still searching desperately for the niconico musicals for Cantarella and Senbonzakura. I've searched for the dvds several times in japan to no avail...  :'(
