Forgive me for just dropping in on you but I was doing a search for Takarazuka cosplayers and somehow your lj came up so if you don't think it too intrusive of me, I can answer some quick questions.
On average, Takarazuka dvds cost about $100. The cheaper ones you saw listed are probably the videos of clips of the different actresses that were playing different roles for the last run of Rose of Versailles. (They rotated through the 2nd string of otokoyaku for Andre and Oscar depending on which show it was.) They aren't dvds of the full show.

There is an LJ community as well: http://community.livejournal.com/takarazuka/
Some clips: http://www.youtube.com/results?search=takarazuka&search_type=search_videos
If you like Rose of Versailles, I'd recommend checking out the 2001 on Oscar and Andre version. They always do 2 shows when they run RoV: one concentrates more on Marie and Fersen, and the other on Oscar and Andre.
Anyways, sorry if this seemed rude! I just love sharing Takarazuka with people so thought I'd give you some more info. =)
