Editorial Review: Product Description
Nominated for a whopping 10 Tony Awards in 2005, Wicked is an undeniable Broadway smash! A prequel to the all-American classic The Wizard of Oz, this new musical is a character study of Elphaba and Glinda, school roommates who grow up to become the Wicked Witch and the Good Witch, respectively. We are very proud to offer several songbooks featuring this delightful music, including a Vocal Selections book which contains the vocal line with piano accompaniment (00313268), and a Piano/Vocal Selections book, in standard piano/vocal format with the melody in the piano part (00313267). Songbooks feature a special section of color photos from the production, a note from composer/lyricist Stephen Schwartz, and these fantastic tunes: As Long as You're Mine * Dancing Through Life * Defying Gravity * For Good * I Couldn't Be Happier * I'm Not That Girl * No Good Deed * No One Mourns the Wicked * One Short Day * Popular * What Is This Feeling? * The Wizard and I * Wonderful.

Summary: Another Victory by the Publishers of Broadway Sheet Music
Date: 2008-12-19 -
Comment: My school owns this book, and I use it near constantly to accompany several singer friends of mine. It is easy to sight read, and the sound of the songs is rich and full, as they should be. I would suggest this for anyone looking to learn the music of Wicked!
Summary: The Best Out There
Date: 2008-11-07 - 
Comment: I am a vocalist, and after seeing Wicked for the first time I knew I needed to own a solo book of the songs so I could use them in future auditions. That and I'm just a music junkie. :-) I have several musical books for voice and piano from Hal Leonard, and they are all exceptional. The piano parts are done well, and the voice parts allow room for the singer to make it his or her own. The only reason I did not give this 5 stars is because of the major changes in Defying Gravity and No Good Deed. First of all the beginning of both is totally left off. (Defing Gravity starts with, "Something has changed within me.."), and instead of talking to Glinda with the "Unlimited" section, there is a reprise of that section from "The Wizard and I." I understand that this was done to make this song a complete solo, but it was still a little disappointing. No Good Deed starts with "No good deed goes unpunished.." instead of the original beginning where she's chanting (Eleka namen, namen, atum atum eleka namen...), and that was my favorite part! Otherwise a fabulous book! I would still buy it again!
Summary: complete songbook, intermediate arrangements

Comment: This was a complete compilation of WICKED songs. The arrangements are for intermediate pianists. The melody line is simple and easy to follow.
Good quality paper used and photos make it extra fun.
I wish it was spiral-bound.

Comment: I think that his book is amazing. Some disappointmennts are that they changed some of the songs to make them solos and not groups, which is nice but if you want the real original then i would recommend the Wicked Grimmerie. I also own that and that is really cool. So other than that I would say that this book is really nice if yuo have any auditions or any concerts or just for fun. Stephen Schwarts also made the notes easier for younger kids but he still put the real chords and everything. I highly recommend this book.

Comment: Great collection with plenty of challenge for the intermediate piano player. Several songs are written in keys with many flats/sharps thus requiring patience and practice. Includes a few pictures from the play, also. Label on the front calls this a "standard piano/vocal format with the melody in the piano part."
