Well, this one doesn't really need an introduction, since Joel Grey does it for me. :) I still haven't seen Wicked, but I'm sure I will eventually. I'm just sorry I missed seeing it with Kristin Chenowith and Idina Menzel, because they are both amazing. I give you "Defying Gravity":

I've read the book, but wasn't terribly impressed. I like the idea of the story, but I think Maguire's writing style put me off. He meanders too much and doesn't really allow you to invest in the characters or the story - it's too overwhelmed by the political message. It seems like a foolproof plot that you couldn't possibly make boring, but Maguire somehow managed it...

oh i love his writing... but uhh.. yah. its true. he meanders. i kind of hated son of a witch. well parts anyway... thats just his way though and when he starts to annoy me i just start skim reading.

I remember reading one of his other books (maybe the Cinderella one?) at the recommendation of my English teacher, and I couldn't make it through. His style really put me off.
