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.

Posted: 8/2/05 at 2:55amIt would be un-natural and wrong for any Wicked fan not to get this.

Posted: 8/2/05 at 9:20amI wonder if I can burn it to make a fire. Then it may prove useful.

Posted: 8/2/05 at 5:35pmI 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...

Posted: 8/2/05 at 6:18pmThe Grimmerie IS in the musical. Kinda a big part dealing with the whole wizard and set up of Elpheba.
(Martha Graham from a letter to Agnes de Mille) "There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening That is translated through you into action, And because there is only one of you in all time, This expression is unique. If you block it, It will never exist through any other medium And be lost. The world will never have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is, Nor how valuable it is, Nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours, clearly and directly, To keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep open and aware Directly to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open. No artist is pleased. There is no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is only a queer, divine dissatisfaction, A blessed unrest that keeps us marching And makes us more alive than others."
