The official Wicked movie soundtrack page has shared a new video promoting the soundtrack from the upcoming movie. The promo includes new footage and audio of Jonathan Bailey's Fiyero performing Dancing Through Life. In the clip, we see Bailey and company dancing their way around the Shiz University classroom, which itself contains many magical moving parts. The soundtrack is available to pre-order now. Watch the video!

The forthcoming soundtrack will come in several variants, including a green (Elphaba) and a pink (Glinda) edition, each featuring an image of the character on the cover. Other versions include a green and pink Target exclusive vinyl, a picture disc vinyl, a standard black vinyl, a standard CD, a Target exclusive CD, and a Barnes & Noble exclusive CD. Take a look at the different options HERE

The forthcoming soundtrack will include every song from Act One of the stage, beginning with No One Mourns the Wicked and concluding with the iconic Defying Gravity. Rather than also opting to include the underscoring by Stephen Schwartz and John Powell, the soundtrack only features the sung numbers. However, it's possible that a deluxe soundtrack could be released sometime down the line.
