Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: The problem with reductionsComment: I've learned over the years to become slightly disappointed with piano music, especially those from musicals. There's no way to capture the original orchestrations, get the melody line in all the time and have enough going on below, or even sometimes get the same songs int the songbook. WICKED is probably the closest you'll get to the real thing. Usually the scores are either bare-bones or unplayable. This one is right on the money.Customer Rating: Summary: Not quite as it seemsComment: This is a generally great book of scores from this awesome musical, however its downfall is that some of the scores have been changed from the origional stage pieces you know and love, to adapted pieces for the solo voice, that work around where scripting would have been in the show or where there would have been chorus's or duets. I find that the adapted "Defying Gravity" in particular, does not quite meet expectations for what was a spectacular showstopper on the stage. It is a good buy if you love to sing, play guitar or piano and above all, love "Wicked".Customer Rating: Summary: Good ScoreComment: I decided to but the score to Wicked after owning the cd for some time, and im glad i did, its a really nice score to play, although some of the songs are a little complex at times and require some patience, but on the whole a really good book.Customer Rating: Summary: Awesome MusicalComment: Without playing Wicked or hearing it, it is hard to describe how brilliant it is. However, trust me, this is one heck of a score. It is what would happen if Disney did a prequel to The Wizard of Oz.It boasts funny, witty, enchanting and clever music that is amazing to play and a pleasure to sing. I cannot wait for the musical to arrive in the West End.
