I would have rather seen "Big Doll House" included over "Ladies' Choice." Blech. Not surprising that they'd find some ways to mess it up though. All they had to do was trust the material and they've proven over and over that they don't trust the material with any of these live television musicals.
Interesting that "Good Morning Baltimore (Reprise)" is listed after "Timeless To Me." Wonder how that'll work structurally. Will also be sad if Big Dollhouse gets cut yet again. Such a fun number. So happy we'll have a recording of "Velma's Revenge," though!
I think it's safe to assume that "Big Doll House" will be a bonus track on an exclusive somewhere: iTunes or Target, etc. They stated all the songs from the Broadway musical adaptation were being used so if one number wasn't being used they'd have said "most numbers will be included."
Harvey said on Theatre Talk that the only song cut from this new version would be "The Madison". It was replaced by "Ladies Choice".

I think Brody has it right here. They might want to keep us guessing for a while, and throw that in as a surprise. You never know.

It's not really a surprise if the writers of the piece have already stated all songs from the Broadway production (except for "The Madison" will be included....
The listing probably just only lists one of the many singers for the songs. Like when your iTunes labels "The Wizard & I" as being sung only by Carole Shelley.
As for "Big Dollhouse" its omission from the album, especially if it IS indeed in the show, is just annoying and dumb.
It also wouldn't make sense, unless they've rewritten the lyrics. And besides what would be the point when Wilbur already has a song showcasing his love and devotion to Edna?
And with Hudson as Motormouth it also wouldn't make sense that they would take one of her two songs away from her and give it to Short, leaving Hudson's only solo being "I Know Where I've Been."
Which is why I believe it's just a mistake on the listing.
Mr. Nowack also makes a good point, considering Sean Hayes is listed as the singer for "Welcome to the 60's" and Maddie Baillio is listed for "It Takes Two".
Actually, I think It Takes Two is rewritten as a solo for Tracy after Link's tragic and gory second act death that they added in. From a trusty source. Maddie Baillio just might win an Emmy yet!
They/them.
