Question: Anyone got reviews for the Grimmerie!?
I just bought the Grimmerie, the book about the broadway show Wicked!. Is it any good!? I've heard about the shortened libretto, but besides that, is everything else good!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
It's great!.

There's a lot of information about how the show came to be!. My favorite sections are the set design, props, and costumes!. Stephen Schwartz's explanations of all the songs is really cool too!.

You should read Gregory Maguire's novel Wicked as well!. It gives a lot of insight!.

There are interviews with Stephen Schwartz, Joe Mantello, Kristin Chenoweth, Idina Menzel, Gregory Maguire, Winnie Holzman, Marc Platt, Stephanie J!. Block, David Stone, Shoshana Bean, Jennifer Laura Thompson, Kendra Kassebaum, Joel Grey, George Hearn, David Garrison, Carolle Shelley, Carol Kane, Norbert Leo Butz, David Ayers, Derrick Williams, Christopher Fitzgerald, Jeffrey Kuhn, Logan Lipton, Michelle Federer, Jenna Leigh Green, William Youmans, Timothy Britten Parker, Eugene Lee, Kenneth Posner, Tony Meola, Susan Hilferty, Joseph Dulude II, and Wayne Cilento!.

I love the 'Are you more Elphaba or Glinda!?' quiz as well!. It's just fun!.

And the lyrics for 'The Wicked Witch of the East', which isn't on the cast recording due to too many spoilers, are in the shortened libretto!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
