The Establishment of Theatre Culture in Hot Spring Resorts and the Revue Format Developed There: Towards the Discussion of \u2018Tourist Music Theatre\u2019: KASAI, Amane<\/h3>\n

Abstract<\/strong><\/h5>\n

This paper examines revues in Japanese hot spring resorts from a cross-genre perspective as a starting point for discussing \u2018tourist music theatre\u2019. It is evident that hot spring resorts have had music theatres all over Japan, and research has been carried out on the works and performing groups involved in each case. Notwithstanding, more research is needed to examine these practices comprehensively. In recent years, the field of theatre research has shown a growing interest in the approach of tourism theatre studies to re-examine the relationship between theatre and tourism. In musicology, for example, the University of T\u00fcbingen\u2019s Collaborative Research Centre is developing a project focusing on British public baths and spas, which indicates a momentum towards discussing hot springs as performance venues. This paper will first review the research trends that underpin the basis of the discussion of \u2018tourist music theatres\u2019 in both musicology and theatre research. We will then consider the role that the theatre culture of hot spring resorts has historically played as a place where people with different attributes, interests, and musical experiences interact as performers and audiences, based on case studies of all-female revues, theatre for the masses, and variety shows.<\/p>\n
