'Wicked: The Soundtrack' gets a sing-along version
Warm up those vocals because it is time to show off your 'Wicked' voice with the help of the film's new sing-along soundtrack.
Unleash your inner Cynthia Erivo (Elphaba Thropp) and Ariana Grande (Galinda Upland/Glinda) this December.
The 'Wicked' movie has released a sing-along version of its 11-track soundtrack. It includes the original songs from the album but without the lead vocals, which means you are the star of every track.
Only the orchestra and backing vocals remain. The sing-along album debuted on Friday, December 20.
"It’s the perfect opportunity for Wicked fans to flex their vocal muscles and become their own favourite lead vocalists on the soundtrack. The sing-along soundtrack provides all citizens of Oz the unique ability to sing their favourite 'Wicked' songs with the film’s cinematic orchestra and cast of background vocalists," a statement read.
Fans have famously complained about their fellow moviegoers singing along while they are trying to enjoy the musical film in theatres.
Some cinemas have even warned people not to sing during the movie. Now you can sing to your heart's content at the sing-along screenings, which debut worldwide in certain cinemas on Christmas Day, December 25.
Since its release in November, 'Wicked' has broken several records. The film, which is based on the Broadway musical of the same name, has grossed more than $500-million at the box office.
The soundtrack was equally successful. It debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 chart in America. According to Billboard, it's the "highest-ever debut for a big-screen adaptation of a stage musical".
Part two of the film, 'Wicked: For Good', will premiere in 2025 and be released in November. Both Ariana and Cynthia will reprise their roles.
