Nice and Easy Renditions5
This book is an excellent value for the money. It contains all the major hits and stays remarkably true to the original score--especially considering that this is the easy piano version. Lots of fun, not too difficult, and highly recommended.

Have they got the right book?2
I read all the previous customer reviews for this "easy piano" version and the other piano/vocal version of the musical before I ordered it, but I'm not sure they have matched the right reviews with the right book. The reviews I read for this book said it did NOT necessarily include the vocal line in the piano part, but in reality that's all it is--the vocal line with the simplest of accompaniment. I returned this book and ordered the other version.

The versions in this book are well done. Though they are simple, they sound convincing, with harmonies and rhythms recognizable from the original versions. They are NOT, however, adequate for accompaniment of a performance of the songs, and they are not at all challenging.

The pieces in this book could be easily mastered by a pianist with only a modicum of skill. They are sight readable for a accomplished pianist.

Bikki Kobayashi's review4
I believe this is great for any of those who love Wicked, and are starting off with either piano, or singing.
