Full review

This is certainly the best musical yet of this decenium! After years of silence Stephen Schwarts (Pippin, Godspell, Children of Eden, etc) wrote Wicked, the story about the good witch and the wicked witch - pre-Dorothy! It's a wonderfull, compelling story with a strong moral point about weather we are born wicked or made wicked. It is also one of the best scores Broadway has ever seen! A number of strong songs, with a big range in style and vocal technique, are presented, with the witches Glinda (the goos witch) and Elphaba (the wicked one) in the center.
The story is centered on how Elphaba and Glinda, the two witches who play a central part of the tory about The Wizard of Oz, grew upp together at school. Through a series of events they become close friends, and share everything. Due to her mothers indescretions Elphaba is born with green skin. Here also is another moral aspect; does skin colour define who we are, or weather we are good or bad?
The score is a typical Schwarts pop score, with several strong numbers for both the leading ladies, like Popular and Defying Gravity. The ensemble is used a lot, making a lot of the music work as dialogue, moving the story forward.
On this recording Kristine Chenoweth and Edina Menzel make stuninng performances. They were both nominated for Tonys 2003 for these roles, and Menzel was the one who finally got the prize.
Trying my hardest to find some negative aspect to the show, I simply can't think of anything! Go and get it, is you don't already have it!

Wickedly Wonderful Witchy-ness!
Review of Wicked - Various Artists by  staceyvm

Advantages: Brilliant Show, Wonderful Performances
Disadvantages: Slightly Convoluted Plot

...As you will know if you've read my review of Wicked, the new musical at the Apollo Victoria Theatre in London, I've become a bit of an obsessed fan. Having seen the show for the second time and gearing up for my third before the end of the year, I thought it timely to write a review of the original cast recording, which was what got me hooked in the first place. A quick re-cap of the plot of the show: Elphaba and Glinda are the teenaged girls who will go on to become the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good in L. Frank Baum's novel, the Wonderful Wizard of Oz. In this take on the story, from the novel by Gregory Maguire, the premise is that Elphaba was not always evil, but because she is an outsider (she is green) her motives, which deep down are good, are misunderstood by the people of Oz and she is automatically presumed to...

It put a spell on me......
Review of Wicked - Various Artists by  Actinia

Advantages: Great for listening to in your car and singing along at top volume
Disadvantages: Hard to turn off when you arrive at your destination!

...I have to say this is one of my all time favourite albums. Therefore I'll try and keep this review as unbiased as possible. My interest in Wicked started when my brother kept raving about the broadway version and then gave me the book to read. After loving the book and hearing that this was composed and written by the same person who wrote The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Disney) I gave in to his badgering and listened to the soundtrack. I was blown away. My emotions were obviously heightened because I already knew the story but when I heard the opening for 'Defying Gravity' goosebumps stood up on my arms and by the end I was crying. The story in brief is a prelude to The Wizard of Oz and tells the story of how the Wicked Witch Elphaba and the Good Witch Glinda become friends and how the choices they make take them on very...

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.
