Decca
Broadway proudly presents the Original 2003 Broadway Cast Recording of WICKED, Broadway's most talked about
new musical, exclusively distributed under MCA
Music (Universal Music Philippines). The box office record-breaker has
already grossed over $10 million. The score was written by Stephen Schwartz
(Broadway's Pippin, Godspell), libretto by Winnie Holzman (TV's My So-Called
Life) and based on the best-selling novel by Gregory Maguire. Hit songs from
the musical include “Defying Gravity”, “Popular” and “For Good”. The musical is
a prequel to the legendary classic, THE WIZARD OF OZ.
WICKED explores the early life of the
witches of Oz: Glinda and Elphaba. One witch, born with emerald green skin, is
smart, fiery and misunderstood. The other is beautiful, ambitious and very
popular. WICKED’s Original Broadway
Cast Recording stars Tony Award® winner Kristin Chenoweth (You're A Good Man,
Charlie Brown) as Glinda, Idina Menzel (Rent) as Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of
the West, and Tony® and Oscar® Winner Joel Grey (Cabaret) as The Wizard. The
album features an essay by novelist Gregory Maguire, original colored photos
from the show and a complete libretto.
