The Takarazuka Grand Theater (Japanese: 宝塚大劇場, Hepburn: Takarazuka Daigekijō) is a theater located in Takarazuka, Hyōgo, Japan. It is the home theater of the Takarazuka Revue, an all-female theater troupe established in 1913. The Grand Theater opened in 1924 and was rebuilt in 1993; the two iterations of the structure are occasionally distinguished as the "Old Takarazuka Grand Theater" (Kyū Takarazuka Daigekijō) and the "New Takarazuka Grand Theater" (Shin Takarazuka Daigekijō).[1] The theater is adjacent to Takarazuka Bow Hall (宝塚バウホール, Takarazuka Bauhōru), a smaller theater also operated by the Takarazuka Revue.
