As for Wicked: For Good, the two songs that earned Golden Globe nominations were written by Grammy and Academy Award-winning composer and lyricist Stephen Schwartz. “I’m especially happy that the soundtrack album for Wicked: For Good has so much new music on it,” Schwartz shared. “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.”
