It really was a very enjoyable production.

Maguire’s books are VERY different from the stage production. It’s not too much to say they share almost nothing other than the basic plot. I actually enjoyed the musical more than the original book, but that’s just my opinion.

I haven’t read any of Maguire’s books yet, but they’re now on my list!

I agree that Wicked is a pretty darn incredible muscial – we saw it here in Toronto last year. That scene at the end of the first act is amazing!

I want to read the book when I get a chance – I liked all of the twists on Oz that Maguire threw in. He’s got a number of other similar retellings of classics and fairy tale’s too – Mirror, Mirror (Snow White), Confessions of a Wicked Stepsister (Cinderella), and Lost (apparently A Christmas Carol). There’s a sequel to Wicked too: Son of a Witch.
