...these are the translations for the titel of the musical "Wicked" (zu deutsch: Wicked - Die Hexen von Oz), that premiered 15, November 2007 at the Palladium Theater at Stuttgart.

Unfortunately it is not allowed to take some pictures while ELPHABA (the green witch) and GLINDA (the platinium blond witch) are acting, but I can show you the photo of the Stuttgart musical scenery

German tourist X-mas at mediaeval Rothenburg

What do you think German Christmas looks like???

Take a mediaeval town with a lot of historic(-looking) buildings and a wall around, have decorated Christmas trees and tall, bellied & white-bearded guys (dressed like a big red sack) at every corner, install dozens of stalls with Christmas goods (nobody needs) and sell strange-tasting but expensive Glühwein and play/hear annoying Christmas music all day long...
...with one word: R O T H E N B U R G during Christmas season.

It's GREAT! MARVELLOUS. GORGEOUS. We love it (when it's all over again)... ;-)

X-mas is coming to town...

...just arrived yesterday afternoon in our living room.
