COOOOLkid, thank you so much for the information!!! Not only does it come out three days before my birthday, it comes out about two weeks before I leave the country for good, so I can buy it to bring back with me. I'm really happy! Between Wicked and the new Hana Yori Dango otome for the DS, it's going to be a fabulous month. ^_^ (But my poor wallet...!!)
musicaltheatrefan3, give Amazon a little time. The Japanese site is notoriously slow when it comes to sticking up pre-orders, even for best-selling albums from popstars. Most recently, I recall that it took them ages to pre-list the latest albums from YUI and Arashi within the past few months. I was checking the site weekly until they were listed.
Just because a press release/article/official announcement/etc. has gone out, it doesn't mean it'll be on Amazon right away.
I'm positive they'll list it, though. For one thing, Œ€’cŽl‹G [Shiki (Four Seasons) Theatre Company] has several albums listed on Amazon (

For another, the last time I was in Tokyo in...February? March? There were Wicked posters all over the place, and even commercials on the train to Yokohama. There's also promo for it in Osaka due to the short production performing at USJ. And the English-language album is also available, so I have no doubt that it WILL be listed. We just have to give it a little more time. :)
