"I think you're getting some new songs," Yeoh teased, before joking, "I didn’t say that."

Fans of the Broadway show's beloved soundtrack won’t be disappointed as Stephen Schwartz, who wrote the music and lyrics for the stage production, has previously confirmed he composed two new songs specifically for the film.

"I have permission to say there are two new songs in the movie because the storytelling demanded it. One of them happens to be for the character of Elphaba. The other one happens to be for the character of Glinda," Schwartz told the outlet in June.
