  • Never Say Goodbye is a musical with a book and lyrics by Shûichirô Koike and music by Frank Wildhorn. It was written specifically for Takarazuka Revue, the all-female Japanese theatre company. Wildhorn was the first non-Japanese to write an original musical for the company. Set against the background of the Spanish Civil War, the plot centers on socialist playwright Katherine McGregor and renowned photographer Georges Malraux, a Polish Jew who fled his homeland for Paris. The two first meet in Hollywood at a party announcing the film adaptation of Katherine's play Tempest in Spain, based on the opera Carmen. The two are reunited in Barcelona, where they unexpectedly find themselves falling in love as they become embroiled in a battle against fascism. Directed by Koike, the production was staged in 2006 at the Takarazuka Grand Theater in Takarazuka, Hyōgo from March 24 through May 8, and at the Tokyo Takarazuka Theater in Tokyo, Japan from May 26 through July 2. The cast included Mari Hanafusa as Katherine and Yōka Wao as Georges. Never Say Goodbye marked the final performance of both stars before their retirement from the troupe. A full-length cast recording, a folio of sheet music, and a video and DVD of the show have been released.
  • 『NEVER SAY GOODBYE』（ネバー・セイ・グッドバイ）は、宝塚歌劇団宙組で上演されたミュージカル作品である。2006年3月24日～5月8日に宝塚大劇場、同年5月26日～7月2日に東京宝塚劇場で上演された。作・演出は小池修一郎。 当時の宙組主演コンビ和央ようか・花總まりの退団公演。使用楽曲をアメリカのミュージカル作曲家フランク・ワイルドホーンが全曲書き下ろして話題になった。 歌劇団の人気の牽引役を担ってきた和央たちの功に対し、歌劇団がワイルドホーンを招いて準備した最後の花道であり、更に前年末、舞台上での事故で負傷・入院した和央の復帰公演でもあった。また、第92期生初舞台公演となっていたこともあり、チケット入手が極めて困難だった公演としても知られる。 1936年に勃発したスペイン内戦を背景に、写真家と劇作家との愛を描く。 2006年読売演劇大賞優秀作品賞受賞。
