German Original Cast Recording is available from December 7th 2007. The German page of Amazon has announced this.

Amazon Germany Wicked-CD

SCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE! Sorry I had to lol
but really, this is amazing.

I've already pre-ordered one

Can we in America order that as well? I've ordered stuff from UK based sites, but never a german based site, and didnt know if we could, I really want this! Also, when ordering what if we dont speak german , im sure the order forum is in german as well. blah I must get this cd

^ You should be able to. I've ordered CDs from Amazon.de before & had them shipped to the UK so they definitely ship internationally. Not sure whether you'd have to pay customs duty though, IDK what the US limit is.

In terms of the language barrier, if you're used to using Amazon.com then Amazon.de is pretty much laid out in the same way so if you go through the order process & hit the same buttons it ought to work, lol!

I'm so pleased they're definitely releasing the German CR, after the will they, won't they business with the possible London one.

There isn't any problem to order from Amazon.de from USA. If there any linguistic problems, i'll help you.

Um im scared, I just ordered it, and um...my total was like 64,00 eur. ? Im kinda panicked, I used my dads credit card, heh, and i am hoping to god this isnt some outrageous amount, did anyone have this also show up on there total?

I'm not up on my Euro-Dollar exchange rates, but i'm pretty sure that's around $128.

It's seems very expensive.

I've tested it with an adress in Columbus, Ohio with credit card, too. And my total for "Standard Versand" (delivery time 8-12 days) was € 30,80 ($ 45,03) and for "International-Express-Zustellung" (delivery time: 2 days) it was € 46,80 ($ 68,42).


€ 64,-- are $ 93,60

Does anybody know if this will feature all new orchestrations/arrangments in the music? I know its the same show, but Im hoping it isnt like the demo songs (although amazing singing) using the broadway backtracking. I just hope for the money Im paying, lol ($90) that it at least has its own arrangments.

I'm pretty positive that the backings will be re-recorded by the Stuttgart orchestra.

I'm SO looking forward to it!!

so expensive...
but I need it!!!

I'm gonna talk with my dad about my Christmas gift right now!!

This is just the german version of the OBC. It is not the german cast.

That's wrong. It is the German Cast who records the CD.

Um...How could they do that? Force Kristin and Idina to learn German?
Did you mean it was the OBCR but in German packaging?


Anyone mind clarifying? I'm guessing that it is indeed the OGCR.

It will be the Stuttgart (German) Original Cast Recording. Next Tuesday they do their last recordings.

Ummm... maybe they could go to the studio and record it
The cast has already finished the first recording sessions - how exciting! The first recording after the '03-broadway-cd!!!

^But it is indeed the German Cast. Not the OBC.

I am very sorry i just looked on the amazon site and saw the first one that came up and it says broadway version. the one under it without any pics is the new one. Once again I am sorry

LMAO omg, so I figured out why the price was so high on mine. Somehow I ordered three of them ,lmao. Terrible I know, but I think it's kinda funny too. I'll prob give one to a friend, then the third I'll sell n ebay or if anbody on here wants it.

FOFL I guessed as much. 'Cause I have tested to order one and my total never was so high like yours. I'm so sorry.

Well, Amazon don't charge you until they actually ship the order so you can always cancel/amend your current order - shouldn't be a problem.

www.musical-total.de announces: The Stuttgart (German) Original Cast Recording of Wicked will contain 21 tracks.
So there will be two tracks more than upon the OBC Recording.

I wonder what's upon SOC/GOC recording furthermore,given that the announcement is true.

Maybe: Wicked Witch of the East?

^YES!! They will most likely do WWOTE!! YEA!! Me excited lol
And prolly...ummm idk, what else is in the show? Maybe they made the reprise of "TWAI" a little longer and added to it?

Perhaps they will include the curtain call medley?

Either would make me really happy! Because we have no WWOTE and the Curtain Call/Bows music is beautiful and the same in any language.

Irgendwie konnte ich navigieren durch Amazon.de ohne Kenntnisse der deutschen Sprache und den Kauf dieses Albums. Ich werde mich sehr freuen, wenn dieser CD kommt in der Mail. Ich hoffe, dass ich die richtigen Adresse.

Ordered!! Hopefully just the one copy! So very,very excited!!

Here the Cover of the OGC-Album: (announced today)

I soo want to get this i bet it sounds AMAZING

Eeeeeeeeee!!! I hope mine flies over from Germany very very fast! And that the lyrics are in there so I can sing along! Yaaay!!!

Already ordered one and I can't wait until friday! And I so hope they'll put WWOE on it, I love this song.

Click "Wicked-Die Hexen von Oz" and then "Alle Titel anzeigen"

Wow..it's the same backtracking as the orginial OBC...I may cancel my order, who was it that said it had 21 tracks? it only has 19- same track listings as ours in America. I can hear all of the main numbers already online.. I dont think I really need this now-

anybody else dissapointed?

eerr idk, it seems good but yea I'm a little said ahh well

and also, its only the orchestra, I mean, we all listen mainly for the voices, it would of been GREAT to have new orhcestra, but come on, we have Williamjn lol

I don't think we ALL really do listen mainly for the voices. At least I don't. I think the backings are VERY important. And im very, very, very disappointed.

I really could care less about the orchestrations, I'm all about the voices, personally. The previews sound so cool! Wish I could order it, my dad would never let me, he hates Wicked...too awsome, though!

If it has 21, it will probably be the same 21 that are in the playbill. No One Mourns The Wicked (reprise) [the one before Thank Goodness, and Wicked Witch of the East.

I don't have a huge problem with using the same backings, if they indeed did. It is supposed to be the same score.

But the orchestrations have change A LOT since 2003. So it would be nice to have the current ones.

I was a little bit disappointed when I listened to it for the first time.
I would have loved to here the Stuttgart orchestra just because I think the American orchestration just doesn't fit sometimes. The German stage version appears to have some more notes to fit the rhymes completely and with the American, the singing appears to be rushed sometimes... or is it just my impression?
Anyway, I'm happy to have bought the CD. Because of the lyrics, because of the beautiful booklet and just because it is Wicked. And yes, I am an uncritical fangirl.

Does the booklet include all the lyrics?

Can you get this off iTunes/LimeWire/anything yet?? I wont be allowed to buy it off Amazon, so I was wondering if it's downloadable yet.

I agree, and I have to say, your avvy is stunning, DOS. Absolutely stunning.

I adore how 'Together we're unlimited' in german sounds vaugely like 'Come fly with me' in english. Maybe it's just me...did anyone else get that? I haven't listened to anything else, but Frei und Schwerelos is awsome! I want the literal translation back to english...

EDIT: OMG...Lucy is...I can't believe I'm saying this...her soprano is better that Cheno's!!! Not a powerful in some points ('goodness knows, the wicked's lives and lonely), but her high notes....*seizure*

I love Lucys soprano! I love it on the CD but I have to say that her soprano sounds much better live! A live-recording would have been so much better!

gncurrier- I THOUGHT THAT TOO! I was like, woah wait? Did they just say that! How strangely appropriate!

And if you read the translation back to english, that's exactly what she says! "Come, fly with me towards the dreams'!

I am ADDICTED to Lucy. Absolutely STUNNING vocals. I've heard her acting isn't great, but I wouldn't know, seeing as I dont understand German.
But I saw her Popular (legal), and I think it's great. A bit like Megan but with a Cheno-esque singing voice.
