Wicked Film Adds New Songs, Unheard Tracks
22 Nov
Summary
- The film includes two new Oscar-eligible songs by Stephen Schwartz.
- A new song, 'The Wicked Witch of the East,' is featured.
- The movie's finale song is on the score album as 'A Wicked Good Finale'.
The highly anticipated "Wicked: For Good" film adaptation is set to enchant audiences with a revised musical selection, featuring Stephen Schwartz's iconic work. The movie introduces two original, Oscar-eligible songs crafted by Schwartz specifically for lead actors Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, adding new layers to Elphaba and Glinda's story.
Beyond the new compositions, the film incorporates "Every Day More Wicked," a track that intricately blends themes from the first movie's songs, offering Elphaba a more prominent presence than on the original Broadway soundtrack. Another significant addition is "The Wicked Witch of the East," a song long absent from Broadway recordings, now performed by Marissa Bode, Ethan Slater, and Cynthia Erivo.
While the film's soundtrack notably excludes its short finale, this musical moment is not lost. Instead, "A Wicked Good Finale" will be available on the movie's score album, providing fans with a complete auditory experience of the magical conclusion.
