Wicked Cast Recording question

Posted: 1/24/05 at 12:05pm

Why is the song The Wicked Witch of the East not on the cast recording?

"Let the little girl go, and that poor little dog? Dodo." That's my favorite line in the whole show (Wicked). My next favorite line is "Oh! It seems the artichoke is steamed."

It is sad that the song isn't on the OBCR because that's Michelle Federer's one song where she's the main vocalist.

I love that song and I think that Michelle Federer is awsome. They should have put it on the OBC recording

Brandonm,
I totally agree with you! I love the "complete" Miss Saigon recording (although I wasn't thrilled with the cast) b/c it told the whole story. Maybe Wicked will do the same.

The same thing with "Sweeney Todd": there's an abridged version and a complete version.

Those are called "highlights" and many sung-through shows have them as an alternative to buying the entire score-- Phantom, Les Mis, Sweeney, Miss Saigon, Rent.

Wicked's score isn't big enough...

"The same thing with "Sweeney Todd": there's an abridged version and a complete version."

The other version is really called a "Highlights" CD and it's sold as such:

I don't understand why anyone would buy that one instead of this one:

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000002W4L/qid=1106592809/sr=2-1/ref=pd_ka_b_2_1/104-0320097-0827147

Just to save eight bucks?

Pab, I agree. It's worth the extra eight bucks.

Does Pab stand for "Pacific Overtures Boy"?
