Listening: Wicked :The witches of Oz on stage


Two witches. One of them with green skin odd enough to make her misunderstood even in a place like Oz. The other... just perfect: beautiful, popular,blonde, charming...
Have you spot them? They are the witches from "The Wizard of Oz" and maybe now more famous than Dorothy and Toto!! The reason? The gorgeous musical which has swept to success in several theatres for five years!! Congrats!! If you have the chance ,go to see it!Simply...fantastic!

Reading:What´s that noise?

Gone are the days of "witches", "alive skeletons"and other "spooky"creatures hanging around the street asking for "trick or treat".However, there are still some places which are considered to be haunted. On top of the list,York remains as a magical city full of secrets waiting to be discovered... :))
