Every Song From the ‘Wicked’ Soundtrack, Ranked From Worst to Best
Billboard ranks every song from the soundtrack of 'Wicked' starring Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande. See where your favorites landed.
Meanwhile the supporting cast — including a flirtatious Jonathan Bailey (Fiyero), a slightly sinister Jeff Goldblum (Oz, the Great and Terrible) and a bleating Peter Dinklage (Doctor Dillamond) — help bring the shining success of this Broadway juggernaut to the big screen. That’s also in no small part thanks to a swoon-worthy performance from Jonathan Bailey, who blends his raw West End talent with his Bridgerton sex appeal to make his Prince Fiyero sway and sweep his way through the updated score. By the time she bellows out her own variation on the iconic battle cry, Erivo distinguishes her “Defying Gravity” as one of the single best movie musical interpretations of a song that this reviewer has ever heard, and one that more than surpasses the already astronomical expectations surrounding it.
