I haven't seen the musical but I'm addicted to the soundtrack and I'm saving up to go see the musical. I'm just glad that the musical has a happy ending whereas in the book...well, enough about that.<br /><br />Oh! But I want to buy EVERYTHING that is Wicked! lol!

Fortunately, Maguire had a hand in writing the play so that it didn't feel butchered. <br />The book is very dark, with a heavy emphasis on politics and it does take a few chapters to get going, but once it does it is a hard ride to stop. The play takes many of the main themes and lightens them up, without deviating too far from main plot points.<br />That being said I recommend the book, but be prepared for a very different experience.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11902859905776456806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4323617352504981787.post-25883134263680275532010-03-04T21:12:26.578-05:002010-03-04T21:12:26.578-05:00The book has very little to do with the musical, w...The book has very little to do with the musical, where the show is uplifting the book is depressing.
