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.

Another Victory by the Publishers of Broadway Sheet Music:
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!

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.

Stephen Schwarts also made the notes easier for younger kids but he still put the real chords and everything. I highly... more info
