A review by lory_enterenchanted
Wicked: A Musical Biography by Paul R. Laird

Did not finish book.

I found this disappointingly dry -- I was expecting something more along the lines of Putting It Together, the wonderful book about the making of Sunday in the Park with George. Instead of quoting actual interviews from people involved with the show, the author merely summarized such material, which quickly became very boring. And he documented in excruciating detail every scrap of paper but didn't give a sense of the life and excitement of creating a show. A few interesting tidbits but I couldn't be bothered with most of it.
