Flower girl Eliza Doolittle unexpectedly becomes involved in a bizarre bet made by phonetics professor Henry Higgins: he wants to turn the uneducated street vendor into a refined lady. A hard and humiliating time begins for Eliza, but she stands up to the drill and shines at Ascot and at the London Diplomatic Ball. Soon, however, she realizes that she has only been a plaything for men and demands respect. For the difference between a lady and a flower girl lies not in her behavior, but in the way she is treated...

My Fair Lady

Globe Coburg

This year's Christmas play at the Reithalle takes a look at the madness of everyday life. Based on his own experiences as a temporary Christmas elf at the famous department store chain Macy's, David Sedaris paints a wonderfully absurd picture of the festive season—full of overexcited customers, moody colleagues, and screaming children dictating their wishes to Santa Claus. With plenty of humor, we encounter human peculiarities, banal situations, and profound stories. A satire about consumerism, Christmas hypocrisy, and the absurdities of modern holiday rituals. This entertaining evening looks at Christmas with a wink and plenty of music. 

Confessions of a Christmas Elf

Reithalle

Berlin, 1927: The young Harry Frommermann admired the American a cappella group The Revelers so much that he decided to form his own band. He promptly placed a newspaper ad to find fellow members. Over seventy candidates auditioned in Frommermann's apartment. There were several performances and changes in the ensemble until the most famous lineup to date, the Comedian Harmonists, was formed: Robert Biberti, Ari Leschnikoff, Roman Cycowski, Erich Collin, and Harry Frommermann, joined by Erwin Bootz on piano. With songs like " Ein Freund, ein guter Freund" (A Friend, a Good Friend) and "Wochenend' and Sonnenschein" (Weekend and Sunshine), the sextet took not only German stages by storm. But their success did not protect them from the increasingly present National Socialist regime, as three of the members were Jewish. Following harassment and rejections, they were banned from performing and ultimately the tragic breakup of the group.

Güllen's train station is run down. The streets and buildings are also dilapidated, many shops are closed, and most of the citizens' possessions are pawned. Money is needed, and urgently! The announcement of a visit comes at just the right time: Claire Zachanassian, a billionaire philanthropist, is returning to her hometown. Once born in Güllen as Klara Wäscher, she was forced to leave the town in a hurry after her childhood sweetheart, Alfred Ill, played a dirty trick on her. Now Claire is back and makes the people of Güllen an offer: One billion, but for that, Alfred Ill must die. The offer is rejected with great indignation. Better poor than bloodstained! But little by little, consumerism increases in the town, a new town hall is to be built, and even the church suddenly has new bells...

The Visit of the Old Lady

GLOBE Coburg

Tonight, the big Addams family dinner is taking place, but something is different with her daughter. The usually so dark and grim Wednesday Addams is suddenly smiling! A frightening sight – her mother Morticia is sure she's sick. But her husband Gomez insists on the planned dinner and is also behaving strangely. What Morticia doesn't know: Wednesday is in love and wants to get engaged. To a handsome, intelligent young man from a respectable family, of all people. Terribly unmorbid. And it gets worse. At the family dinner, the two families are supposed to finally get to know each other. While the Addamses are enthusiastic about torture instruments, the Beinekes are acting a bit stiffly. When Pugsley, Wednesday's little brother with a penchant for explosives, gets involved, the young couple's happiness is put to a severe test. The internationally successful Broadway musical can now be seen here in Coburg. Look forward to a quirky, chaotic evening and celebrate the unconventional!
