This has to be Stephen Schwartz's best musical ever. Idina Menzel's voice is awe-inspiring, and paired with Kristen Chenoweth's voice it's incredible.Idina Menzel is simply amazing. Having followed her career since "Rent" and her solo album.
Mr. Schwartz's score is filled with so many great songs, but standouts include:
The Wizard And I What Is This Feeling Popular [Chenoweth's big song] I'm Not That Girl Defying Gravity [Menzel's powerful end to Act I & the classic of the show] As Long As You're Mine For Good go see the show if it travels near you!!

OH MY GOD! This Musical CD kicks ass man. I got interested when the first time I acually-with no clue what the hell it was- became amazed by it was when one night, I was watching "Tonight with Jay Leno" and at the near end of the show,I saw a bunch of peple in all "green" dancing to some beautiful up beat music.I didn't know what the hell they were doing until Jay announced it after their performance that it was form a new musical called...WICKED!...and then the rest was hstory lol!
You have no iead of how infuactuated,addicting-and I mean addicting-the music is! Beautifly Beautifly Well Made HIGHLY RECCOMENDED FOR EVERYBODY.Whether your a fan of musical theatre or not.If everybody had to chose at lease one musical album in their collection...let it be this one.you won't regret it,and it's worth every cent! :-)
This cd brings back all your favorite moments from Wicked the musical. From begining to end inmerse yourself in the beauty and magic that this spectacular play is. I saw it once but I felt in love with all the characters and listening to this cd makes me feel I am back at the theather.
The play was absolutely outstanding but it is impossible to get all the lyrics when you see it for the first time. The CD just adds to your enjoyment and understanding of this amazing story. Wicked is my new favorite Broadway Play. I have now seen it 3 times and the CD is great!
Sealed CD however slow shipping. 1 week to get the CD. Had much faster shipping from other sellers. Ok though and you should not count this seller out....if you don't need the product right away.
I purchased this soundtrack from the original cast of Wicked and enjoyed it so much I purchased another CD for my sister. My sister tells me her family, children ages 8 and 4 love it also.
The CD arrived quickly and was in a beautiful sleeve and in a box. I bought the CD because I watched the movie and loved it so much. The price was OK and considering we do not have music store close by.I also impressed with the speedy delivery. Communication with the seller was very nice. As it
I read the book and heard that the musical was fantastic. I guess you would have had to have been there. The music was fine but it sounded like a thousand other modern musicals. I have to rate it at average. David Burke
I took my daughter and girlfriend to see Wicked in Chicago before Christmas. They loved the music but did not want to pay the asking price at the performance. As I usually do, I checked ebay and found a seller who would sell me two copies for the price of one.
The cd is strong and uplifting. If you haven't seen the play, you should.
I like delivery method, but it took while to deliver it. and I don't understand why seller has opened dispute to me saying that I haven't payed for that item, I've payed for it immediately after I commit to buy it.
This is a classic CD. If you got to see the play then you know this disc is a must. I love to sing along with all the songs! Buy it you won't be sorry.
One of my guilty pleasures is playing this CD very loud in my car and singing along while I drive! The CD is fabulous - It truly takes you through the journey of Wicked. I loved the cast's voices...I saw Wicked - The Musical in January, and while the new cast sang/performed very well, they are not nearly as good as the original cast.
I bought this as a Christmas present for my best friend. We saw the musical together in Chicago, so I knew I wanted to get this for her. It arrived quickly and was in great condition. Thanks.
I absolutely LOVE this CD! The music is AMZING! It is so fun to listen to again and again. Its even really fun to sing along with it! I highly recommend "Wicked" to any buyer!! You'll never think of the Wizard of OZ or Wicked Witch of the West the same way again! :)
This CD is full of fabulous music! The songs can be enjoyed by those who've seen the musical as well as anyone who has not. I enjoy every minute of listening to it.
I only knew two or three songs out of this collection, but my daughter saw a production of "Wicked" in Chicago last spring and just loved it. I couldn't believe how quickly she has learned all of the words to the songs when I saw her this weekend. This is a fun piece that she's fully enjoying. That's present tense, because she plays it in her car almost daily. It now has my interested piqued in wanting to see the stage production somewhere. I especially like "For the Good", a powerful song.
this is by far my favorite cd at the moment, i listen to it constantly in my car and sing to it at the top of mu lungs even though i suck at singing i dont care. its an awesome cd and if u havent seen the show i recommend u see the show first and then listen to the sound track, then u are watching the show with an open mind. but dont buy it at the show its a lot of money there, its cheaper online and a great product if u buy from the right person ;)
My daughter and I saw Wicked in Chicago in April and LOVED it! We had both read the book and noticed the liberties they took with the play, but it worked. The ending was wonderful and the music was fabulous. And while I wanted the CD, I didn't want to pay $20 for it through the Wicked website, so I turned to eBay. The CD was still shrinkwrapped and a great deal. I've enjoyed listening to it over and over and singing along. I would definitely recommend the CD to anyone who enjoyed the musical.
All the songs on the album are just as exciting as I heard them in the musical, even better then the voices I saw in the show that went on tour in houston. I recommend the soundtrack to any long time lover of wicked or a first time listener who is very anxious to see the show!
