Wicked is.... well, wicked!! December 25, 2003
14 out of 14 found this review helpful
Finally, a new, exciting, inspirational musical!! People who doubt the future and sustainability of modern musical theatre should get this CD and have all your worries put to rest. I love this show! Stephen Schwartz has done it again with this marvellous, emotional, soulful score, with some absolutely amazing songs, especially the beautiful 'Defying Gravity'. Kristen Chenowith is good, but completely upstaged by Idina Menzel - superlatives are not enough!! Menzel makes a very convincing Elphaba and sings the songs with fire and passion, her love duet 'As Long As You're Mine' with the gorgeous Fiyero (Norbert Leo Butz) is spine tingling!!If you like modern musicals, BUY THIS CD!!! You will not be disappointed!
Truly WICKED!! August 21, 2004

If you're into Musicals then this is right up your street! The show tells of the pre-Dorothy Oz and explores how those events came to pass and how the Wicked Witch of the West turned out the way she did! The CD has the majority of the songs from the show and begins with the death of the Witch - Noone Mourns the Wicked. From there we are taken back on time! What can I say, a truly wonderful musical. If you are buying this CD I would recommend you hunt the internet for the synposis of the show and make sure you go for the unofficial one which tells all the secrets of the show! With this in your head your enjoyment of the CD will be total!! I thoroughly recommend this CD.

I got onto the Wicked trail after a friend just mentioned it. Then i started seeing Wicked everywhere! I saw 'What is this feeling?' on children in need, and couldn't stop singing it, it was then that i new i was hooked! The songs are amazing, and the voices are spectacular. I'm a member of my local Amatuer Operatic Society, and if i could sing half as well as Idina Menzel, i would be going somewhere! She has an amazing, powerful voice, and the rest of the cast add to the enjoyment. I'm only 17, but this has to be my favourite musical, by FAR. Now i just need to so see it!!
Believe me, once you've listened to this soundtrack, you will be as hooked as i am. Buy it! it's well worth it!

I went to see this show twice on Broadway at considerable expense. It is absolutely awing and the kind of technical and dramatic feat that blows your mind, nothing in London compares to it. The CD is also equally wonderful with Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoworth worth the price. If you are not inspired by Defying Gravity (which should become the musical theatre anthem of the new year) then goodness knows what will. Just as entertaining is the catchy "popular" every want to be princess/cosmo girls cry to arms. This is a very clever take on The Wizard Of Oz. It has a beautiful score ranging from pop to pastache opera, brilliantly sung with witty lyrics. People are queing to see it and its already a best seller. Buy it, you won't be dispointed. Now click your heels together three times and order it!
Refreshing and new, fantastic ! August 17, 2004

"Wicked", the brilliant new musical by Stephen Schwartz, is a refreshing addition to the Broadway stage. Now the Original Broadway Cast is here on CD, you will listen over and over again. The excellent Kristin Chenoweth as "Glinda" and extra-ordinary Idina Menzel as "Elphaba" are simply first class. This sometimes comic musical is bright and very much welcome. The musical, with the catchy slogan of "The Untold Story of the Witches of Oz", is very very well performed on this CD by the Original Broadway Cast. The company shine in "No One Mourns the Wicked" which provides a fantastic opening to a fantastic show. All of the songs are catchy and memorable, but one or two shine above the rest. These being "Popular", "No One Mourns the Wicked", "Defying Gravity" and "What is this Feeling ?". Although the musical has a "Wizard of Oz" setting, the score is completely different. Those expecting a whimsical musical will be disappointed as this popular soon-to-be-classic show takes on a style of it's own and is rewarded for doing so. Mixing both sadness and comedy, Stephen Schwartz has created a brilliant musical with fans all around the world. Catchy songs, wonderful voices and a brilliant score make this recording a true must-have. The ensemble, though only heard on a selection of songs, are powerful and really shine. The accompanying booklet includes full lyrics and a selection of production photos. This CD, while being the highlights, harnesses the massive power that the full show gives. Refreshing and simply beautiful. Buy now !
