Stephen Schwartz commented on the soundtrack release, "I am so proud of our Wicked soundtrack.  These world-class singers and this wonderful full orchestra have given me and my music team the chance to make a recording that I think will excite both fans of the Broadway cast recording and audiences hearing these Wicked songs for the first time."
