How is the CD of the Stuttgart Cast of Wicked?

Question

I've seen the video of Willemjn and Lucy and was blown away, I just need to know whether I should spend seventy bucks on a CD from Amazon. Would it work in an American CD player? Are there any special quirks or differences I should know? And while I'm at it, are there any other recordings of Wicked besides Stuttgart and OBC?

Answer 1

CDs ARE ALL THE SAME! ask any geek. wait you asked me so...

Go for the seventy bucks. I would.

Answer 2

The Stuttgart cast is amazing. Willemijn and Lucy are absolutely wonderful, and I say Willemijn has a better voice for Elphaba than Idina. Sorry Idina fans, but Willemijn is so extremely consistent in her singing that there is barely any difference between different performances.

There are other companies that sell the CD through Amazon, and its a lot less. (1st source)

All CDs are made in the same way, so of course it will work on an American CD player.

The fact that its all German is a definite difference.

The other singing recordings are the Wicked karaoke vocals cd and Wicked4Kids.

The non-singing recordings are the Wicked karaoke background tracks cd and piano tribute to Wicked.

Answer 3

CDs are all the same and work anywhere.

The German cast is amazing. especially Gutes Tunn (No good dead) and Frei un Schwerlos (Defying Gravity). Perhaps it would be easier to buy it from www.soundofmusic.de, it's cheaper and if you click the English flag then the site will be in English. They deliver anywhere and they have a HUGE selection.
