Album Notes Principal cast includes: Kristin Chenowith (Galinda, Glinda); Sean McCourt (Witch's Father); Cristy Canlder (Witch's Mother); Jan Neuberger (Midwife); Idina Menzel (Elphaba); Michelle Federer (Nessarose); Christopher Fitzgerald (Boq); Carole Shelley (Madame Morrible); William Youmans (Doctor Dillamond); Norbert Leo Butz (Fiyero); Sean McCourt (Ozian Official); Joel Grey (The Wonderful Wizard Of Oz); Manuel Herrera (Chistery). Recorded at Right Track Studios, New York, New York. Based on Gregory Maguire's novel of the same name, the Broadway musical WICKED creates a history for the two witches from L. Frank Baum's OZ books. Through composer/lyricist Stephen Schwartz's emotive songs, the show reveals the unlikely friendship between Elphaba (Idina Menzel), who eventually becomes the Wicked Witch, and Glinda (Kristin Chenoweth), the Good Witch. The dramatic, horn-laden "No One Mourns the Wicked" starts the story in striking fashion, with the death of the ruby-slipper-wearing Wicked Witch. As Glinda appears, Elphaba's backstory begins, leading to jaunty numbers like "Popular" and "Defying Gravity," as well as ballads such as "I'm Not That Girl" and "For Good," with Menzel and Chenoweth showing off their substantial vocal chops. Adding to the boisterous energy is musical theater veteran Joel Grey, who brings a bit of Broadway's past to his role as the Wizard. | Find errors in the product description?

Top Reviews Review created: 02/09/06 by: 9 of 11 people found this review helpful. This has to be Stephen Schwartz's best musical ever. Idina Menzel's voice is awe-inspiring, and paired with Kristen Chenoweth's voice it's incredible.Idina Menzel is simply amazing. Having followed her career since "Rent" and her solo album. Mr. Schwartz's score is filled with so many great songs, but standouts include: The Wizard And I What Is This Feeling Popular [Chenoweth's big song] I'm Not That Girl Defying Gravity [Menzel's powerful end to Act I & the classic of the show] As Long As You're Mine For Good go see the show if it travels near you!! Go to www.broadwayacrossamerica.com to see when it's coming by! you will be delighted Review ID: 10000000000736245 Was this review helpful?

I got interested when the first time I acually-with no clue what the hell it was- became amazed by it was when one night, I was watching "Tonight with Jay Leno" and at the near end of the show,I saw a bunch of peple in all "green" dancing to some beautiful up beat music.I didn't know what the hell they were doing until Jay announced it after their performance that it was form a new musical called...WICKED!...and then the rest was hstory lol! You have no iead of how infuactuated,addicting-and I mean addicting-the music is! Beautifly Beautifly Well Made HIGHLY RECCOMENDED FOR EVERYBODY.Whether your a fan of musical theatre or not.If everybody had to chose at lease one musical album in their collection...let it be this one.you won't regret it,and it's worth every cent! :-) Review ID: 10000000001783273 Was this review helpful? Report this review Reviews Review created: 07/30/08 by: jambrosier65 ( 1 ) For a fraction of the cost at a store, I was able to have the brand new, sealed CD of Wicked. The seller also enclosed the book as a surprise bonus. My family and I are thrilled with this purchase AND with the added bonus. What a deal! We loved seeing the musical twice: once in London and once in Chicago. Now we can re-live the production right here in our home any time we want. Review ID: 10000000008122112 Was this review helpful?

Got the book and was "hooked". I have not been able to get the soundtrack for months then I tried EBay. My seller was quick and when I got the CD I think I have worn it out. Even my husband and daughter loved it. Review ID: 10000000007797933 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
