The Wicked movie has landed in theaters, and the soundtrack has officially dropped! That’s right, you can now belt out “Defying Gravity” in your shower like you’re Cynthia Erivo herself (just don’t scare your neighbors).
This album isn’t just good—it’s downright popular (yes, that was an Ariana Grande pun, and no, I won’t apologize). With 11 jaw-dropping tracks, the main version of the soundtrack delivers everything you’d expect from Oz’s most dramatic residents. You’ve got Cynthia Erivo slaying “The Wizard and I” and hitting those high notes on “Defying Gravity” like it’s a casual Tuesday. And then there’s Ariana Grande, who basically makes “Popular” her personal anthem.
Broadway Fans, Buckle Up!
If you’re a purist who knows every Wicked lyric by heart (we see you), you’ll be thrilled to know that every Act One gem from the Broadway musical made it onto Wicked: Part One. Even the whimsical “Ozdust Duet” makes an appearance as a bonus track, featuring the orchestrations of Glinda and Elphaba’s awkwardly fabulous dance break in “Dancing Through Life.” Trust us, it’s like musical theater Christmas came early.
But Wait… Cameos?!
Here’s the thing—if you press play on this soundtrack before watching the movie, prepare for some epic surprises. There are cameo appearances so unexpected, they’ll make you spit out your emerald green popcorn. But we won’t spoil them here. (Okay, maybe just a hint: it’s giving “Oh my Oz, is that who I think it is?!” vibes.)
How Do You Get Your Hands on This Magic?
Shopping for the Wicked soundtrack is easier than getting into Madame Morrible’s office (but just as exciting). Here’s where you can snag it:

Final Thought: Get Ready to Be Changed for Good
Whether you’re a die-hard fan or just here for the Grande vocals, the Wicked soundtrack is guaranteed to sweep you off your feet faster than a twister to Oz. So go forth, stream, sing, and let those musical vibes defy gravity!
PS: Don’t blame us if you suddenly feel the urge to wear a pointed hat. It’s just the soundtrack’s power. 🧙♀️
