Wicked the Musical the Karaoke Party.

So a few weeks ago, I found a link on Britain’s Amazon.com to lyrics for Wicked the Musical, a wonderful little resource for those enthusiasts who wanted to take the extra step and put on their own production, of whatever size.

But I didn’t take into account that someone might have made a Wicked musical product even more accessible and entertaining than the source code, so to speak, for Wicked the Musical. And again, Amazon.com comes to the rescue.

The site is pushing the full kit, with on-screen lyrics and the show-original music at tempo and in key, and it looks great. However, there are two versions available, one published by Stage Star Records and the other by Pocket Songs. The Pocket Songs version is missing the two songs “Dear Old Shiz” and “I’m Not That Girl,” while the Pocket version lacks “No One Mourns the Wicked,” and “Something Bad.” Each makes up where the other fails, but I wouldn’t be buying two, so if you’re so inclined, be sure you’re choosing the right one based on your favorite songs. The Stage Star Records Karaoke CD for Wicked the Musical can be found here, and the Pocket Songs Karaoke CD for Wicked the Musical can be found here. (price is also a factor, with the Pocket Songs version $10 cheaper than the Stage Star Records version.)

So belt out your lungs, and when your vocal cords can’t take no more, the pros are playing the Wicked Musical in NY, Chicago, LA, and Toronto, and StubHub has tickets to them all on its Wicked Tickets fan forum, where Ozymandian fans buy and sell tickets.
