Book Reviews of Wicked: The Grimmerie, a Behind-the-Scenes Look at the Hit Broadway Musical
Book Review: I didn't want to give this up!!
Summary: 5 Stars
My daughters and I went to see Wicked in November and we had so many questions about the story (I had read the book) and the show. The kiosks at the show were selling 'The Grimmerie', but I didn't see it. So, when I did a search on Amazon and came across this book, I ordered it for my daughters for Christmas.
When the book was delivered, I was so impressed with its quality and inital appearence. The image doesn't do the book justice, but the cover is padded and 'faux distressed' to make is look like it had been discovered well-worn in someone's attic. I had to touch it several times because it looked as if it was very textured, but wasn't. The pages are antiqued with lots of artwork and detail - much like a fine manuscript.
I flipped through the entire book the first night and LOVED it - so much, I didn't want to give it up!!
The book has a lot of history about the origin and development of the original show, interviews and pictures of original cast members, lyrics from songs, script excerpts, meanings behind some of the props and lots of behind the scenes information (like how the green makeup stays on the Alphaba).
Needless to say, my daughters consumed this book. They look at it almost every day. It will be a treasured addition to our library. (Notice I said 'OUR' and not 'THEIR'- LOL)
If you saw the show, don't hesitate to buy the book!
Book Review: Loved it!
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw "Wicked" in Chicago and absolutely loved it. This book is like the "ology" books for grown-ups. Once I started reading it, I couldn't put it down. It's also a very attractive book. The pictures on this site do not do it justice.Book Review: The Grimmerie - GREAT buy for any Wicked Fanatic!

This book does a spectacular job of explaining "the road to Wicked." It had every little detail you ever wanted to know! Apart from it's attractive and loyal cover, the book is filled with testimonials from many of the people involved in getting the musical to where it is today, as well as several of our favorite cast members! This book is definitely a fantastic buy for any Wicked or Broadway fanatic!Book Review: So Amazing!!!
