 Wickedly good February 20, 2008
Great showcase for the show for those that have seen it or love the soundtrack. I liked how they showed how the stage was set up and they adapted it step by step. I wish there had been more of a libretto and more on what was going on in the story. But, if you carefully read some of the hints, the ending becomes pretty clear.
 Fantastic January 23, 2008
I've enjoyed this book very much. I read the WICKED novel, and then a heard about the Broadway Musical. I' ve seen some videos,but this book gave me a lot of interest in watching it live, although in it will be quite dificult in spain.
Wicked book a wicked good time! January 14, 2008
No, I haven't seen the Broadway show - or the one in Chicago, etc. Yes, I've heard the soundtrack and LOVED it. My 10 year old future actress is in love with Wicked, so I decided to purchase this as a last minute Christmas gift. I am glad that I did! She loves it - it gives her a good idea of what the show is about - both in front of the audience and behind the curtains. The pictures are great and the cover really COOL! Now, if I could get tickets to the show for a great bargain like the purchase of this book!
I didn't want to give this up!! January 7, 2008
My daughters and I went to see Wicked in November and we had so many questions about the story (I had read the book) and the show. The kiosks at the show were selling 'The Grimmerie', but I didn't see it. So, when I did a search on Amazon and came across this book, I ordered it for my daughters for Christmas.
When the book was delivered, I was so impressed with its quality and inital appearence. The image doesn't do the book justice, but the cover is padded and 'faux distressed' to make is look like it had been discovered well-worn in someone's attic. I had to touch it several times because it looked as if it was very textured, but wasn't. The pages are antiqued with lots of artwork and detail - much like a fine manuscript.
I flipped through the entire book the first night and LOVED it - so much, I didn't want to give it up!!
The book has a lot of history about the origin and development of the original show, interviews and pictures of original cast members, lyrics from songs, script excerpts, meanings behind some of the props and lots of behind the scenes information (like how the green makeup stays on the Alphaba).
Needless to say, my daughters consumed this book. They look at it almost every day. It will be a treasured addition to our library. (Notice I said 'OUR' and not 'THEIR'- LOL)
If you saw the show, don't hesitate to buy the book!
Loved it! January 7, 2008
I saw "Wicked" in Chicago and absolutely loved it. This book is like the "ology" books for grown-ups. Once I started reading it, I couldn't put it down. It's also a very attractive book. The pictures on this site do not do it justice.
