Comments

Juan C. Velandia: I had just finished the novel and I kept going with this book. "Wicked" is an extraordinary creation and the world that Gregory Maguire gave birth to expands in many directions. The musical is such a different piece from the book, but maintains the basis of the story and adds the concept that has resonated with people and has given the stage version its success all around the world: the strange and curious friendship between two women, powerful and opinionated.

This book shows the step-by-step process of how to make a musical. It has many voices throughout the pages, and photos of almost every step of the show. It was a very long and dedicated work from a huge team, and it's all summarized here, in a way.

I am in awe with all of the changes that Winnie Holzman did, it was all "for good" (Yes, I went there). Her adaptation took a long time and was influenced by everyone in the development team of the show, including the fabulous Kristin Chenoweth.

Every single detail is inside this book: the origin of the songs explained by the one and only Stephen Schwartz; the concept of the stage and drawings from Eugene Lee, the mind behind it; the incredible and delicate...

Vanessa: Um dos livros mais lindos que tenho, sem dúvida! Amei ler sobre o processo criativo desse musical que é tão especial pra mim. Através de pequenos depoimentos, elenco e produção nos contam um pouco do que foi criar a peça original. Achei muito legal que inclui até sketches com ideias de cenários, figurinos, rascunhos de texto… Além de muitas fotos lindas do elenco caracterizado e nos bastidores. No final, temos também o texto completo da peça, incluindo as letras das músicas. Por algumas horas, voltei pra Oz e revivi todo esse mundo mágico. Amei muito, muito mesmo. Favorito.

Aziza B.: My beat friend loved this book. It’s beautiful and made her cry especially because she just got home from seeing the musical again that evening on her birthday.

estel: Il libro è fatto in modo che sembri antico, proprio come un grimorio di streghe, è ricco di bellissime immagini e informazioni sul musical. Perfetto regalo per un'amante del genere!

Anwar Marin: Para los Fanáticos de Wicked es una Gran Compra, llego en muy buen estado y antes de lo esperado
Lo mejor el costo, el precio era mucho mayor cuando la obra estaba en el Teatro Telcel en CDMX

R. Graham: If you love Wicked, the musical, then you will love this book, which is full of behind the scenes info and gorgeous photos of the actors and the sets. The Grimmerie explains how the original book by Gregory Maguire became a phenomenal musical. It is not the story that is told in the musical. You can buy a book called Wicked, The Broadway Musical by Winnie Holzman with the story told in the musical.

If you want to read the story of Wicked, I highly recommend Ms. Holzman's book over the original story by Mr. Maguire. I do not have anything against Mr. Maguire personally. His story is quite imaginative, possibly even brilliant, and has the same very interesting themes as those portrayed in the musical. Mr. Maguire's story is just too dark, too pornographic and too depressing for me. I prefer the much happier ending of the play. I know that life does not always have a happy ending but that is precisely why I like my fantasy to end in a cheery way.
