Two more editions of the Wicked soundtrack have just been announced, reserved for the biggest Wicked fans. Both Fan Edition variants, shipping on December 6, consist of extra goodies not found in the standard editions of the soundtrack. Pre-order here.
The Fan Edition CD includes a 34-page book featuring photos, song lyrics, and 9 exclusive photocards. The Fan Edition Vinyl Box Set includes an exclusive album cover, pink/green splatter vinyl, a Shiz beanie, pennant, and patch, and an envelope from Shiz including 2 exclusive trading cards, a postcard, a required reading list, and an exclusive note from Stephen Schwartz.
The forthcoming soundtrack will come in several other 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.
According to the official listing, the 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.
