The question arises, how is Stephen Schwartz's score and CD so successfully dramatic? I believe part of the answer lies in the use of what I'll call 'breaks and links.' Ultimately, this is how the score is dramatic. Wicked's score is groundbreaking because it represents a new level of melding pop idioms with sophisticated musical theater song construction.

The frequency and dramatic density of Wicked's score's breaks and links is one way to describe this achievement.The many 'breaks' in the songs of Wicked serve plot advancement and character transformation by 'breaking' and tempo. Sections marked 'Freely' in Wicked's Vocal Selections identify some of these breaks. By moving Wicked forward, breaks prevent the application of dramatic brakes. They moderate the drama's metabolism by speeding it up, slowing it down, moving it toward speech, and pushing it toward money notes. Stephen Schwartz's 'Note from the Composer' in the Vocal Selections mentions the process of extracting the show's songs from their dramatic context—this entailed removing many breaks and links which make no sense in stand-alone versions of songs.Counterbalancing the breaks in the score are the performance decisions and lyrical/musical links that unify Wicked.

Wicked's music might be described as 'folk/pop-influenced,' but it wildly transcends those styles. For all these reasons, I'll analyze the score independent of any particular lyrical or musical style.The following aspects of musical theater will guide our examination: harmonic dynamism, non- melody writing (to color lyrics), the structural handling of, and the use of and lyrical links. Breaks crack open a song's structure and accommodate verse-intros, dialog, and passages. Melodic and lyrical links serve the dramatic purposes that lead to the breaks in the first place.

All these technical aspects help us to take things apart and see how the machine works, but analysis is a fool's errand without constant attention to how everything comes together to make a show work. I will, therefore, comment on the purely dramatic and performance aspects of the scenes as captured on CD.
Winnie Holzman, Gregory Maguire, William David Brohn, Joe Mantello and others contributed to the success of these dimensions. I will also examine Schwartz's songs in their presentation sequence, rather than organizing this article by analytical categories. Wicked's songs comprise an ordered evening of entertainment and we must respect the score's integrity.
