The Wicked Grimmerie is scheduled for release October 19, 2005. Preorder it now: Wicked: The Grimmerie - $26.40, reg $40.00

Wicked: The Grimmerie offers fans a behind-the-curtains peek at the musical, profiles of the cast and creative team, and inside stories, with full-color photographs throughout.

Some of the irresistible special features include an “Ozian” glossary, spells, the show’s libretto, an illustrated family tree, and a step-by-step look at how Elphaba gets green before each show.

This beautifully packaged, whimsical keepsake is designed to resemble the Grimmerie, an ancient book of spells that Elphaba uses in the show.

Hardback. 190 Pages. By theatre writer David Cote and show photographer Joan Marcus

It would be un-natural and wrong for any Wicked fan not to get this.

I wish it were an anotated script as they did with Hairspray.

The Producers book also has an annotated script.

I wonder if I can burn it to make a fire. Then it may prove useful.

It doesn't burn - it melts.

I have been waiting for something like this. I wonder if it will have anything from the tours or the Chicago production. That would be amazing!!! This will help complete my Oz collection.....for now.

I am glad that the Grimmerie is finally making it's way into WICKED THE MUSICAL...
maybe next they will tackle:
The TIME DRAGON
Glinda and Elphaba not being friends
Elphaba's lack of magic


and all that fun stuff- the musical leaves behind...

The Grimmerie IS in the musical. Kinda a big part dealing with the whole wizard and set up of Elpheba.
