With Wicked being so insanely "popular" (no pun intended) do you think they will come out with a hardcover coffee table book like Aida, The Producers, and Hairspray?

Probably. Maybe it'll explain that stupid metal dragon.

if you really want to understand the dragon read the book


Idina: Somehow I got myself to the stage, came out at the end of the show, and I had some kind of closure.
Some guy: You looked great!

I hope to God they will. LOL. I think that they probably will do so. Its the biggest show on Broadway this year, so I can see them making a book about it. Why not?

..What's a coffeetable book?


What is Broadway? A street? Some say it's a street. Some say it is the best street in the world. Others think its terrible. That's the beauty of it, it's terribly beautiful. Some hate it and don't know why. Others love it and don't know why. That's what makes it so wonderful, it's a mystery.

It would make a great coffeetable book, considering it is a hot show at the moment. They could do a lot with the pictures - the set designs, scenery, and costumes are beautiful.

A coffeetable book contains the script of the show, along with pictures and interesting facts and stories about the show.

But would it have OBC pictures like these books usually do? The cast is already leaving, it would be hard to get them back together for this.

They already have enough pictures of the OBC. RENT let out their coffeetable book just a few years ago if Im correct.

not all coffeetable books have the script inside (ie. aida and TLK). and some of the coffeetable books that do have the script are sometimes shortened or not complete (ie. hairspray).

"not all coffeetable books have the script inside..."

Oops! I haven't read every single book. I've just glanced through the Hairspray and Chicago movie ones.

I read "Wicked" and I'm still totally lost about the Time Dragon.

Same here. In my opinion the show was much more clever than the book. THe book was too dark and confusing.

Does it make sense to NO ONE else that this is the entire PROBLEM with the presence of the dragon in the musical?

So. Many. Comments. To. Withhold.

Then don't go to a thread that says "Wicked"...
