One of the most common complaints about musicals is that the books are flimsy pretexts from which to hang numbers. Wicked runs into the opposite problem: it has a great plot, but too often the songs just get in the way. Based on Gregory Maguire's novel of the same name, Wicked tells us what happened between Glinda the Good and Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West, before Dorothy showed up in Oz. And the show is lucky to boast a pair of ace leading women in the main roles. As Glinda, Kristin Chenoweth delivers a sensational star turn, displaying a crystal-pure voice and sharp comic timing; Idina Menzel lends her powerful pipes to the tricky role of Elphaba. Unfortunately, you wish they had better material to work with. Stephen Schwartz's pop score is often dragged down by overly synthetic orchestrations and sentimental lyrics (think Chicken Soup for the Witch). Still, at its best Wicked is a seductive slice of popular entertainment that could well give a younger audience a lasting taste for musical theater. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

 Wicked CD March 17, 2010
Andrea J. Kubovcik (San Mateo, CA)
CD was a gift for a friend who saw the show with us in San Francisco. Arrived quickly and in good condition. She loved it.
WICKED AWESOME!!!!! March 17, 2010
"The Cultured One"
I have loved everything about the "Wicked" soundtrack since I bought it 3 years ago! There isn't a single boring song in the show! Just last week, I finally had the opportunity to see it live! It was one of the most amazing shows I have ever seen and now the soundtrack sounds even better than it did before! You don't have to see the show to fall in love with the brilliant score written by Stephen Schwartz! This soundtrack is a must have for all die-hard Broadway and "Wizard of Oz" fans! BUY IT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!
P.S. If you decide to take my advice, purchase the soundtrack from Amazon. com. The theater was charging $25!!!
Wicked is wicked good! March 14, 2010

I could not get the Original Broadway Cast CD any where else. Amazon provided it at a fair price and it arrived when promised.
Love it! March 10, 2010

If you have seen the play, you will love

like you were still watching the play!
