Wicked fans can relive the magic of Thursday night’s NBC TV special with the official soundtrack album, which materialized at the stroke of midnight.
Recorded live at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, Wicked: One Wonderful Night (Live) – The Soundtrack captures performances from Wicked stars and Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, alongside Jeff Goldblum, Bowen Yang, Ethan Slater, Marissa Bode and others.
The collection houses 10 live recordings, including “Defying Gravity,” “Popular” and “The Wizard And I,” all of which are back by a 37-piece orchestra, led by Stephen Oremus, and executive music producer of Wicked and the forthcoming sequel, Wicked: For Good.
“From Broadway to the big screen, Wicked has become a global cultural phenomenon, celebrating friendship, courage and the power of standing up against injustice,” reads a statement. The new, live soundtrack “honors that legacy with a collection that bridges generations of fans and captures the emotional heartbeat of one of the most beloved musicals of all time.”
Earlier, NBC beamed out its two-hour concert special, which marked the first time fans got to watch Grande and Erivo perform “What Is This Feeling?” and several other Wicked classics live.
The spectacle, and its soundtrack, should build the buzz for Wicked: For Good, which rolls out at cinemas from Nov. 21, and is accompanied with its own soundtrack, due out on the same day. Pre-orders are here.
