What are these bonus/extra versions? Interesting.

I'd only be interested if they released "Wicked Witch of the East" or "Defying Gravity" with the "it's me" bit (if they even recorded it) since all that plot stuff they were worried about people knowing is all common knowledge now. This just doesn't look interesting and seems pretty unnecessary.

Why was 'Wicked Witch of the East' never recorded in the first place anyway?

Wicked Witch of the East was never recorded, because supposedly it was too much of a spoiler, but I don't see how it's any more of a spoiler than March of the Witch Hunters.

Doesn't sound too interesting to me.

I'll save my money.

Idina's dance mix of Defying Gravity? Does it remind anyone of this wonderful album?

If it was too much of a spoiler, they should have stated that like DRS did. Every show has a spoiler in it. Well, almost every!

I don't know, I'm kind of excited to hear some of the material from the Japanese and German casts.

I'm kind of excited to hear some of the material from the Japanese and German casts.

Then why not just get those cast albums?

I hope I never hear the Defying Gravity Dance Mix ever again.

For those who don't already know, Making Good was later replaced by The Wizard and I. Stephanie sang this song at a Birdland concert and it'll be on her record (whenever she gets back to working on it!)as well. Very cool that a cut song is on there, and that she's the one singing it! :)

[Schmerg_The_Impaler]

So they have this, but no West End recording of Hairspray?

Such things make Schmerg a sad impaler.

Kind of excited about it. Why didn't they just put every track from the OBC on it, plus the bonuses? And why isn't "Frei und schwerelos" on it????? and for the Japanese, why isn't "Mahoutsukai to watashi" on it either???? Megumi really stands out there!!!!!!!I also like "Daikirai"!!!!!!!!!! Leanne Rimes????????? Didn't know that she recorded "For Good" ever. I'll see if they ship to Norway. If they do, yes. If they don't, I'm not going to bother having it sent to my family in the US and having them ship it to me. I always use Amazon, but not in Norway, yet.

EDIT: Oh, they did have every OBC track. That's not what the Playbill article said. Updated On: 9/27/08 at 01:09 AM

My question is when are they going to announce the guests for the benefit concert...?

Although many of the other bonus tracks could be found on various cast recordings and jive, I am quite pumped about Stephanie J. Block's "Making Good." I've been waiting for her version of this song for a while.

Are we going to be getting a an Anniversary Edition every five years?

[A Fleur De Toi]

Posted: 9/27/08 at 3:46am

milking the fan base for all it's worth honestly - good move! :)

still unsure if I want to get it - I have the obcr already and the only track I want to listen to is Making Good by SJB. But if that's gonna be on her album.....IDK.

and I NEVER NEVER want to hear the dance track of DG by Idina EVER AGAIN.

I must say Solang Ich dich hab by Willemijin is well worth it though!

The only thing I find interesting, is that someone did cove "For Good" as a C/W song which is something I've always thought. Tho why it wasn't released as a single kinda makes me a little worried!

[Parks]

It's out today.

I'm Not That Girl Bonus Edition is kind of scaring me...

The only song I'm semi-tempted to download is Stephanie J Block's version of Making Good. Her voice sounds great.

I wish they would have put "Step by Step" in there!

[B3TA07]

I love the Kerry Ellis track! Wish they'd included her version of Defying Gravity instead of I'm Not That Girl.

I never got the whole spoiler thing, Joel Gray and Christopher Fitzgerald have such distinctive voices that it is obvious when you first hear the CD that the Wizard is Elphaba's father and Boq becomes the tin man. If anything it makes it more interesting wanting to see the show to find out how things unfold.

Justin D apparently assumes everyone has seen the show.

What stunning new cover art work for the 5th year CD- I love it!
