Takarazuka's 2015 Cosmos Troupe adaptation of the 1935 american musical of the same name which tells the story of an American showman, Jerry Travers (Asaka Manato), who comes to London to star in a show produced by the bumbling Horace Hardwick (Nanami Hiroki). While practicing a tap dance routine in his hotel bedroom, he awakens Dale Tremont (Misaki Rion) on the floor below. She storms upstairs to complain, whereupon Jerry falls hopelessly in love with her and proceeds to pursue her all over London. Complications arise when Dale mistakes Jerry for Horace.
