On Brokeback Mountain Musicals

fubuki_fan's meme prompt for today is: Brokeback Mountain has been turned into a muscial. Should Takarazuka do a version at the Bow Hall? ;)

Ah. Well, first I have to admit that I've never seen the movie (or read the book? It was a book too, right?). Which has nothing to do with it being a love story between two men and everything to do with it being an angsty love story with infidelity. Not really my thing. I tend to like my movies as adventure stories, comedies, and other more light-hearted fare. When I want depressing, I watch the news.

I have a really hard time believing Takarazuka would ever do this story, because they walk that fine line very carefully, and I can't think of many gay characters in their shows that aren't in there for stereotypical comic relief. That said, Bow Hall was named for the prow of a ship, forging ahead and experimenting with new things. So, yes, I think they should. It would certainly be... interesting.
