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

Summary: Wicked Soundtrack 2010-03-09
Comment: If you have seen the play, you will love
the soundtrack. It makes you feel just
like you were still watching the play!
Customer Rating: 2 Star
Summary: Good show, horrible songs 2010-02-19
Comment: Schwartz is best when paired with someone who has an ear for a good tune. He can be a brilliant lyricist, but he's never been anything other than a middling composer. The show--the stars actually--rise above mediocre song material and the characters of the stage book shine through. Thankfully.

Skip the cd. Go see it.

Summary: It's like watching it again in my head! 2010-02-10
Comment: Awesome album. Every time I listen to it it's like I'm watching the musical again. The music does a great job of painting a visual of what's happening on stage. This is one of the few albums I can listen to in its entirety over and over again. And it still gets me emotional!
Customer Rating: 5 Star
Summary: Excellent! 2010-02-06
Comment: My daughters and I love this CD. The music reminds us of when we saw the play at ASU Gammage in July of 2009. We are a huge fan of this musical and we even liked it more than Phantom (which we saw in November). I would recommend this CD to everyone who loves musicals.
