The time has finally come! We’re officially days away from “Wicked” hitting the big screen, which stars Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo as Glinda and Elphaba. And with the film premiering soon (Nov. 22), the official soundtrack is sure to hit the shelves.
In celebration of its release, select record stores across the country are holding in-store listening parties. The official Record Store Day US released a list of participating stores in nearly 40 states — including Florida! While fans can expect to listen to the album in its entirety, they can also get their hands on freebies like an exclusive poster or enter a giveaway to win a special beanie.
