Two books trace the history of the musical 'Wicked'. One is Carol de Giere's book, 'Defying Gravity: The Creative Career of Stephen Schwartz from Godspell to Wicked' [New York: Applause Books, 2008]. The other is 'Wicked: The Grimmerie, A Behind-the-Scenes Look at the Hit Broadway Musical' [Hyperion, 2005]. It's authored by theater critic David Coté, photographer Joan Marcus, and composer lyricist Stephen Lawrence Schwartz [b. March 6, 1948].
