Wicked is not just a musical, it is a phenomenon. Every week 15,000 people pack New York+s Gershwin Theatre to see the show. The most successful musical on Broadway in 2004, Wicked is based on the bestselling novel of the same name by Gregory Maguire. It tells the story of Elphaba, the headstrong Wicked Witch of the West, and Glinda, the good witch, growing up in the Land of Oz. The show has cast a spell on fans, many of whom return for second and third viewings. In 2005, the show begins an extensive tour across the United States and Canada, hitting major cities such as Toronto, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Washington, D.C., and many more.This beautifully packaged, whimsical keepsake is designed to resemble the Grimmerie, an ancient book of spells that Elphaba uses in the show. Wicked: The Grimmerie offers fans a behind-the-curtains peek at the musical, profiles of the cast and creative team, and inside stories, with full-color photographs throughout. Some of the irresistible special features include an -Ozian+ glossary, spells, an illustrated family tree, and a step-by-step look at how Elphaba gets green before each show-everything fans need to relive the Broadway experience day after day.

What Customers Say About Wicked: The Grimmerie, a Behind-the-Scenes Look at the Hit Broadway Musical:

At the play, all the programs were sold out and she was disappointed. The book has a quality, distressed look binding for effect.I also checked out some other sites, then came back to Amazon and bought it for a Christmas present. My daughter is a big fan of the play. (The book is not all encompassing and does contain a lot about earlier productions of the play with the performers of that time over the current performers. My daughter loves the book, it came in time for Christmas and the price was reasonable. So, I started researching Amazon to see what was out there. Read the reviews and let your preferences guide you).
The price at that time was the best out there (some were asking 3 times as much plus shipping). So for her birthday, we gave her tickets for her and a friend. The purchase/delivery was prompt and effortless. I found this book and read the reviews. However, it reveals a lot of good backstage info, history and insight. And now you can get it even cheaper. I feel I hit a homerun.
It was really interesting how they came up with the idea for the musical and they tell everything in this book. I loved this book. They sell this book at the gift shop at the musical and you'll pay $50 for it. If you are really into the musical, Wicked, you will enjoy this book. I bought it over a year ago and I still love looking thru it.
at first, i had hoped this had the full script, but understand why it doesn't. this book also gives people who may not have read the book this musical is based on a taste so that they might delve into the series, which currently has three books to it. i certainly am happy with the content, and glad that they made this book for the public.
Wicked: The Grimmerie is a great book, story, musical to read and get all the facts about Wicked the musical on broadway. Thank You for the great knowledge of this musical hit.jmh
