Re: Gregory Maguire, he has a bunch of books with an idea similiar to "Wicked", i.e., modern retellings of classic fairytales. "Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister", "Son of a Witch", and "Mirror Mirror" are three...

Yup, I've been looking for them at the library but haven't run across any. Twisted fairy tales are a favorite subgenre of mine and I'd like to see how he compares to some of my favorites, say, Terry Pratchett (he doesn't do straight fairy stories but uses elements of them).

Yeah, I've seen some of the other books. It intrigued me because I saw the ad for the Broadway show.
A friend on the alumni board who is a high school drama teacher says it's become her favorite show.
