I went to a phenomenal tribute concert this week where so many phenomenal performers sang great song after great song. Halfway through, Stephen himself comes out and performs this one and I have been thinking about it for almost three solid days.

No one is talking about the guts and confidence it takes to publicly show pieces of your work that were not very good and basically failures and use them to explain how a creative process works. Maybe it’s just me, but I think it’s incredibly brave.

So very proud to see him in his parents' home.He sang when I requested him to sing his own composed wonderful song. What a nice composer/singer with a very soft heart who took care of his parents(my employer).I wish I could see and hear him sing again in chorus with his parents...Miss you guys...

I've literally never thought of Wizard and I as a wait-for-it song, but I just went back and listened to the soundtrack after watching this and... that's exactly what it is. Like there's so many points of build up in the song that always resolves down so that the finale can finally punch you in the face. I've grown up listening to Wicked, and I feel like I've listened to it for the first time again.

@@MANHATTANBEEFMAN barely registers? I don't know about that, since he definitely has found success and a loyal fanbase. And if we're talking about "complexity" of music, Schwartz is considered one of the hardest MT composers to play by many accompanists. If you don't like him, fine. But you blindly stating that people who like his work have never heard of Stephen Sondheim is just false. They're both great to many people. Don't act like people are uneducated for liking someone's work.
