Editorial ReviewNominated 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.

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... more info
- complete songbook, intermediate arrangements
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.
- Wicked Piano/Vocal Book Review
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... more info
