It didn't take us too long to recover, and on Thursday, Cassie and I headed off to Stuttgart to see a musical. I guess her host-family's bank offers little excursions once in a while. It's the kind of thing that banks in America do, but no one ever really goes... except in Germany, people actually participate. But near the beginning of the trip, Cassie had mentioned that her family had two tickets to "We Will Rock You" the musical based on the music of the rock band Queen. We decided to go, naturally.
So Thursday the 26th after school, at 5:30 we headed to the bus-station and got on a packed bus to Stuttgart. After about an hour, we arrived at the theater. Right next to the Apollo theater, is the Palladium theater which is currently home of Wicked- Die Hexen von Oz, the German translation.
We took our seats in the gorgeous house of the Apollo theater and waited for the play to begin. For the next two hours, we were glued to our seats. It was incredible! I understood everything, except for a couple of jokes that were geared at the native Germans in the audience. The performers were really talented, because parts of the songs were in English, meaning they had to perform in two languages.
Several of the jokes were making fun of American pop culture, which Cassie and I understood better than a lot of the Germans. It was a really great show, costumes, lights, sets, actors, fantastic.
We had to catch the bus home pretty quickly, but we had time to snatch a few pics next to the poster of our favorite
character, the Killer Queen.
The perfect week to relax after the craziness of Fasching. Then on Saturday.. Freiburg.
