In honor of Wicked: Resurrection’s early release (yay!) I offer you all the version of the book’s playlist that you can listen to. And for once, there was only one song that eluded me. (The Beach Boys one, strangely enough.) So…enjoy!

And here is what I found:

Okay, here is the other playlist. I couldn’t find a copy of Drummer Boy by White Heart, but I’ve included two different versions of the Battle Hymn of the Republic to compensate. The version of “The Magic of the Wizard’s Dream” is still not quite right, so be sure to check out the posted music video to see what Debbie was talking about. I would just like to add the fact that “I Can’t Break Away” by Big Pig is also one of my favorite songs ever. Enjoy the playlist.

I really wanted you all to enjoy the proper version of Rhapsody (of Fire) – The Magic of the Wizard’s Dream complete with Christopher Lee. Debbie adores it. Here is the music video for you, so that you can see why.

Rhapsody – The Magic of the Wizard’s Dream:

Hi folks. Debbie thought it would be fun if you all could actually listen to her playlists, so here is her “My Favorite Songs (According to Itunes)” playlist. Sadly, I couldn’t find the Roger Whittaker song, and I don’t think that the “The Magic of the Wizard’s Dream” I found is quite correct. Still, enjoy!
