“Wicked,” one of Broadway’s most popular modern-day classics, is coming to the big screen, with a soundtrack arriving in tandem with the film’s release.

“Wicked: The Soundtrack” is slated to be released alongside the movie’s box office debut on Nov. 22, with a pre-order launching today. It’s set to include renditions of the musical’s notable songs, including “Popular” and “Defying Gravity,” as performed by Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande who star as Elphaba and Glinda, respectively, in a tale that follows their unlikely friendship.
