The two new songs are called “No Place Like Home,” which will be performed by Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba, and “The Girl in the Bubble,” which will be performed by Ariana Grande as Glinda.
There’s also “The Wicked Witch of the East,” performed by Cynthia, Ethan Slater, and Marissa Bode, which was featured in the stage musical but not the original cast album.
Variety notes that these new songs will be Oscars eligible, as they are completely new. There will also be “additional material” incorporated into the existing songs from Act II of the hit musical.
There’s also a song called “Every Day More Wicked,” which is a line from “Thank Goodness.” It’s likely a version of that song, rather than a whole new track, as Variety notes.
“I’m especially happy that the soundtrack album for ‘Wicked: For Good’ has so much new music on it. In addition to two brand new songs, there is a lot that’s new in several other existing songs. So not only listeners coming to the score for the first time, but long-time fans of the original Broadway cast album, will have a great deal to discover,” Stephen said in a statement, per Republic Records.
You can pre-order the soundtrack here in various formats.
