Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Decca Broadway proudly presents the original Cast Recording of Wicked, Broadway's most talked about new musical. With a score by Stephen Schwartz liberto by Winnie Holzman and based on the best selling novel by Gregory Maguire, the musical is a prequel to the legendary classic, the Wizard of Oz.

Amazon.com

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

I didnt like this at first
I knew there was a musical called wicked that came out fairly recently but I didnt take much notice to it until this year. I live in Los Angeles and saw a few commericals on tv. The commercial had a clip of the song Popular. I thought it was kind of catchy so I downloaded the soundtrack. Except for popular, I didnt like any of the other songs. I then started watching some clips of the play on youtube and started to really like other songs such as defying gravity and the wizard and I.I'm not sure why I didnt like it at first,maybe because I didnt know what was going on at first, but now I love almost the whole thing, except for some of the crowd songs. In the last 3 months or so, I've become a huge fan of everything wicked. I saw the play a couple weeks ago. I bought the soundtrack, the behind the scenes book, and plan to see the play again soon. give it a try I hope you like it as much as I do. The original cast is really good, I wish I could of seen it with Idina Menzel, the original witch.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wicked well worth the time
Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2005

The "Wicked" Original Broadway Cast recording sparkles with energy and emotion, and features the original performers for whom the music was specifically written. The musical version of "Wicked" differs substantially from the original novel by Gregory Maguire but the altered storyline, in which the minor character of Glinda the Good in the novel is elevated to co-star status in the musical, becomes a story of the friendship between two young women and the sacrifices they must make to be true to their ideals.

While this makes the musical story completely different than the book it is arguably more compelling than the actual novel, as evidenced by the show's runaway success on Broadway, Chicago and on national tour. Add composer Stephen Schwartz's best work since "Pippen" 30 years ago and the result is a show that IMO is easily as enjoyable as "Les Miserables" and far more gripping than "Phantom of the Opera" or "Miss Saigon."

Schwartz introduces the dramatic "Wicked Witch" theme (a six chord progression whose unspoken lyrics purportedly are "oh no, the witch is here") in the first moments of the overture and recalls it chillingly again moments later when it becomes apparent at the Wicked Witch's birth that something is horribly wrong. Then, when the young Witch is finally united with her true love in the second act, the love theme utilizes the exact same chord progression, but now set in a compelling ostinato figure that underscores the urgency and desperation of their fleeting moment together. The Hindemith-like antiphony of "No One Mourns the Wicked" both jars us and serves to clue us into realizing that something's not quite right during the "Ding-Dong the Witch is Dead"-like opening celebration number.

The hopeful yet tragic "Unlimited" theme arcs through the story and is a clever homage to the "Wizard of Oz" movie score, using the same first seven notes as "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" and then diverging. Schwartz noted in interviews that he chose to use only the first seven notes as an inside joke because copyright laws specifically define eight notes as the point where infringement on someone else's tune occurs.

The music of "Wicked" is for the most part completely dependent on the context of the musical and the individual numbers do not stand alone well, but Ms. Chenowith's "Popular" and Ms. Menzel's legitimate showstopper "Defying Gravity" are justifiably acclaimed, and the de facto finale "For Good" is already available on Amazon on two other non-Broadway recordings, one of which features the composer singing half of the duet himself.

The aforementioned love song "As Long as You're Mine" also has to be heard in the context of the story to be fully appreciated; the audience at this point in the musical has been taken on a journey from the apparent celebration of the witch's demise at the beginning to the show 180 degrees to where we now understand her character and motivations to where from "Defying Gravity" onwards we are actually cheering for the witch to succeed; by the time this duet comes along near the end of the second act, the witch and her true love are being hunted across the land and we already know that our heroine is doomed to melt (and soon!) at the hands of a certain Kansas farmgirl, lending the lyrics and chord progressions, maudlin at best out of context, tremendous pathos and power akin to "The Fall of Saigon" and "The Last Night of the World" in "Miss Saigon." Only when you see the musical do you understand why Schwartz chose Fiyero's otherwise jarring verse "Maybe I'm brainless, maybe I'm wise."

"Wicked" is well worth your time but you'll enjoy it infinitely more once you also see the show, and the show itself is well worth a weekend trip to the nearest city staging a production to see it.

I haven't had time to listen to this cd yet but I looked it over. I don't see any scratches or marks on it so it should be alright for listening to. My niece has it and says it is really good, she also got to see the live action play , which my friend and I couldn't get tickets for it was so popular. Hopefully the cd will be worth what I paid for it and next time it comes to town I will be able to get tickets.
