Not quite as it seems,
By
This review is from: STEPHEN SCHWARTZ WICKED (PIANO/VOCAL SELECTIONS) PVG: A New Musical for Piano, Voice and Guitar (Paperback)
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".

The problem with reductions,
This review is from: STEPHEN SCHWARTZ WICKED (PIANO/VOCAL SELECTIONS) PVG: A New Musical for Piano, Voice and Guitar (Paperback)
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.

Good Score,
By Nick "--nick--" (England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: STEPHEN SCHWARTZ WICKED (PIANO/VOCAL SELECTIONS) PVG: A New Musical for Piano, Voice and Guitar (Paperback)
Contains all of the main songs from the stage show, only omitting a few reprises and 'The Wicked Witch Of The East'. The score is well presented and contains the lyrics also. It is fairly straight forward to play, however a few of the songs are a little thicky. Many songs are also shortened as is often the case with the vocal scores. However, I haven't really found this to be a problem.
