Alright Election Twitter hold onto your asses. In Japan there is this called the Takarazuka Revue. It's a theatre company that does lavish broadway style musicals. Everyone in these shows is played by a woman.

There's a JFK Takarazuka show
Not a lot of info for the show is out there because TR is obscure in the English internet. But here's what we've got.

Bobby, JFK, Jackie Kennedy, and MLK Jr are pictured here
And here we have Bobby singing a number about the cabinet.
Here is a subtitled version of the Inauguration. Sung by J Edgar Hoover
Nixon has never looked so good @dick_nixon
This is a number by MLK and his ensemble calling for civil rights



(I'm not gonna touch the politics of Japanese women darkening their skin for theatre I have no say in it as a white bloke)
While LBJ doesn't seem to play a huge role in the show he is in there. Played by Kazahaya Yuu @lyndonbajohnson
That's all I really have for what I can find. I would appreciate RTs. Would love to connect with someone kore familiar with TR to see if we can find a fully subtitled show.

There's a Lincoln one too but I know nothing about it.
