The musical "Chicago" in Thessaloniki

The award-winning musical "CHICAGO» directed by him Stop Beans, will be presented by 30 December for a limited number of shows at Thessaloniki Concert Hall.

With 30.000 tickets from Pallas in his luggage, with excellent rates, a wonderful ensemble of actors and dancers in particularly demanding roles, in choreographies by Fokas Evangelinos and a ten-member orchestra on stage conducted by Alexis Priftis, "CHIGAGO" is undoubtedly the most glamorous show of this year's theater season.

The Emerald Coconut, Tanya Trypi, Konstantinos Markoulakis, Antonis Loudaros and Marinella in a surprise role, demonstrate their virtuoso skills in the inventive stage environment of Giorgos Gavalas and Yiannis Mourikis and the impressive costumes of Denis Vachliotis, justifying the bold choice of Hellenic Spectacles to stage this year, the "Rolls Royce of musicals".

The story
"CHIGAGO" is an authentic "jazz" story set in the Prohibition era and combining love, the comedy, adultery, the drama, satirizing "justice", "state Pharisaism" but also the "starter" of every form! Murders, violence and corruption, explosive dance moves and powerful songs excite and enthrall audiences around the world.

First uploaded on 1975 on Broadway and completed 936 representations. The direction and innovative choreographies that went down in history were signed by Bob Fosse. The public applauded it enthusiastically for two years and due to its great success it was staged again 1996 and 1997 on two Broadway stages making it the 4th longest running musical in Broadway history! It had the same excellent run in London's West End since it was played by 1997 until September 1st 2012 where the last performance was given!

Toyota GT86 Cabrio in the works

As everything shows, there will be too Toyota GT86 Cabrio. The open version of the GT86 is expected, according to the English Autocar (where the photo is from), to debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March.
Early reports suggest a fabric roof to keep the car's weight down so as not to affect the excellent handling. Most likely, under the hood will be the same 2-liter boxer engine 200 horsepower that also drives the GT86 coupe. It is also possible that there will be a corresponding version for the Subaru BRZ. It may be that the development of the GT86 Cabrio has not yet been confirmed by Toyota, however the more powerful version of the GT86 with a hybrid KERS system instead of a turbo and power all around 250 Horsepower is certain and expected about 2015.

Michalis Hatzigiannis: "I've done enough harm to myself"

In the nested magazine “So Simple” of Ethnos and the journalist Alexandros Priftis, Michalis Hatzigiannis granted a particularly interesting interview. The 34-year-old singer and music composer talked about his beginnings, himself, love but also his relationship with Zeta Makripoulia.

When asked if he would like to be both himself and his partner, two unknown persons to the general public, so they can express themselves comfortably and fearlessly, the singer replied: “We express no displeasure about’ what is being done. If our private space is violated, then we deal with it in a fair and ethical way. We have the time and space, so that we are away from prying eyes”, while he did not hesitate to admit that the fact that both come from -almost- common business areas-, it is positive for their relationship: “This helps and facilitates the communication we have with each other”.

But since he is a very closed person, easily creates new human relationships; “I think not! I would like to have and make more friends. But life makes things more difficult. Let's say, at my work, you may also be hanging out with someone this year, and time to get lost” admitted Michalis Hatzigiannis.
End, when asked if he has ever harmed himself, Michael answered: “Bad enough! But, fortunately, I figured it out early, I noticed the wear and tear early and stopped”.

Andersen's first fairy tale found

The manuscript was located in the historical archives of Funen Island

Hans Christian Andersen's first fairy tale (1805-1875) they believe Danish experts discovered in a handwritten text, written in ink, which was found in a local file. Entitled "The Tallow Candle" (The tallow wax), the manuscript was located in the historical archives of Funen Island, where the Danish writer was born. It was in the back of an archive where it was unearthed last October by local historian Esben Brage.
Two months later the historians decided, that the manuscript, which consists of six pages was actually written by Andersen, they even dated its writing to the middle of his decade 1820, when the author was in his late teens. "I have no doubt that it was written by Andersen", Ejnar Stig Askgaard of the Odense City Museum also told the Danish newspaper "Politiken". The newspaper has even translated and published the text in English.
On the first page of the manuscript one can read: "To Mrs. Bunkeflod from the devoted H. C. Andersen». It is about the widow of a vicar, who lived across the street from Andersen's childhood home and historians know that he often visited her to borrow her books. And as Askgaard said “The fairy tale was a gift to a woman, whose home was very important to him".
Afterwards, however, the Bunkeflod family sent the manuscript to another, who was closely associated with the Andersens, the Plum family, in whose archives the tale was finally found. A dedication even written on the document later in blue ink states: "To P. Plum Bunkeflod by his friend". Here experts believe, that the text found, possibly a copy _ by the author himself of course _ of his original manuscript, which had been lost.
The fairy tale, however, talks about a neglected and dirty candle made of animal fat, which finds happiness when a wimp sees its inner beauty and the glow in its wick. Despite the fact that the story is not on the level of Andersen's later works, it is nevertheless considered the most important find from the decade 1920, when the author's memoirs were discovered in the Royal Library.
"This is a shocking discovery. On the one hand because it should be considered as Andersen's first fairy tale and on the other hand because it shows that he was interested in fairy tales from his youth, before establishing himself as a writer", Askgaard adds.
 
Andersen's first fairy tales were published in 1835 while overall he wrote about the 160 stories, which have been translated into more than 100 languages.
