 HYPE OVER SUBSTANCE June 9, 2008
0 out of 5 found this review helpful
the album is definitely better than the show, which in my opinion is just a big panto, idina menzel thankfully sounds better on the album than she ever did on stage in london, kerry ellis showed how it should be done, and i think they should release the london cast version, if you want camp cheesy songs that are badly edited then buy the album, but after youve seen the show you will realise that the album misses some very important plotlines, and songs dont make as much sense as they do when you see the show,
TRULY WICKED March 31, 2008
I have not been fortunate enough to be able to see Wicked on stage yet, however I saw clips of the show on television and immediately wanted to find out more so visited the shows website and listened to clips from some of the tracks and was blown away. I have read the book by Gregory Maguire so had a good idea what the show was all about but never before have I been so captivated by a score without the ability to experience the show itself. With such gripping songs as 'The Wizard & I', 'Defying Gravity', 'For Good' it is a must for any musicals fans collection.
Amazing March 30, 2008
I have not got thw CD yet, but, I have seen the show with Kerry Ellis, amazing! I hope the CD lives up to the west end performance!
This really is (at risk of sounding cliche) Wicked! February 18, 2008

Yes, I said it, the title of a thousand reviews - "Wicked" is wicked!
But, in all seriousness, it is. I've seen reviews which have labelled some of the songs here as not up to par others from the musical, and from other works of Stephen Schwartz. I can now denounce those rumours with the cheery air that comes from listening to "Wicked" for the forty-seventh time. Every song on this album, except, perhaps, the lacklustre 'Wonderful' (although even that is good to sing along to when you're in a sing-along situation), is wonderfully addictive, from the cheerfully sinister 'No One Mourns the Wicked' to the insanely catchy 'What is this Feeling?' to the mind-blowingly powerful 'Defying Gravity' to the tender, heart-wrenching 'For Good' - I could go one with irritating comparisons and over-used adjectives for the whole review. Fortunately, however, I'm just going to leave you with this - buy this CD. Whether you've seen the show or not (and believe me, after this you'll want to) this is a great CD for all music/al lovers to have in their collection.
One of the strongest musical soundtracks out there. January 10, 2008

I purchased this soundtrack off the back of seing the show in New York and as with most people I was wowed by the sensational "Defying Gravity" which is a modern musical classic. The song almost, nearly, over shadows the rest of the album due to its initia crowd pleasing ability. However over time and as I listened to the soundtrack more, I found myself enjoying the other songs on the soundtrack including "Dancing Through Life" and the dark and beautifil "As Long As Your Mine".
I feel that the soundtrack really grew on me and now it is a firm favourite of mine. There is no question of all of the casts vocal ability which is really quite something. I feel that a lot of people may buy this album for one or two songs, yet over time they will find themselves captivated by the whole CD. A very strong soundtrack that is a certain modern musical classic.
