The comedy is devastating in this autopsy of a marriage that dies of happily ever after syndrome. Seldom has such emotional realism been spied in the precincts of wild magic. This alumna of the Cinderella marriage is overwhelmed, over-enchanted, and so over it. Fall under its charms, I dare you. - Gregory Maguire, author of Wicked
