'Wicked': Movie and Soundtrack Debut on the Same Date!
Are you ready for Oz? The highly anticipated Wicked movie is finally upon us, and it’s not just about the movie itself. The film’s soundtrack is also dropping on the same date, giving us a double dose of Wicked magic!
A Double Dose of Wicked
The movie itself, directed by Jon M. Chu, is a musical adaptation of the Broadway show of the same name. It’s a prequel to The Wizard of Oz and tells the story of Elphaba (played by Cynthia Erivo) and Glinda (played by Ariana Grande), two young women who become unlikely friends while studying at Shiz University.
The Wicked soundtrack, featuring original songs by Stephen Schwartz, has been a fan favorite since the Broadway show’s debut in 2003. Now, the movie soundtrack is set to release alongside the film, featuring new recordings of the show's iconic songs, plus some exciting new material.
What to Expect
We’re not just talking about a typical movie soundtrack here. This release is a major event for Wicked fans, with tons of buzz and anticipation. Imagine hearing those iconic songs, like “Defying Gravity,” “Popular,” and “For Good,” in a whole new way.
But the excitement doesn’t stop there. New songs written specifically for the movie are being added to the soundtrack. This means new musical moments to fall in love with, alongside the classic favorites!
Prepare for the Wicked Phenomenon
The release of both the movie and soundtrack on the same day is a brilliant move. It allows fans to experience the story in both its visual and audio forms simultaneously, truly immersing themselves in the Wicked world.
So, mark your calendars, grab your green and pink, and prepare to be swept away by the Wicked magic! This is going to be HUGE, folks.
