Musicals Affected By the TikTok-Universal Fallout: WICKED, PHANTOM & More Banned From the App

After the fallout between Universal Music Group and TikTok, several cast recordings have been taken off the platform.

While Universal Music Group's departure from the social media app meant that artists like Taylor Swift and Ariana Grande will no longer have their music featured in TikToks, the move has also affected several musicals.

Decca Broadway, a frequent contributor of Broadway cast recordings and movie musical soundtracks, is a subsidary of Universal Music Group. The fallout with TikTok has led to several iconic cast recordings being wiped from the app, with users no longer permitted to use the music in their videos.

The move has inspired several TikTok users to create their own covers of songs for use on the app. Since the original Broadway cast recording of Wicked has been banned, Kristin Chenoweth has released her own cover of "Popular" for future use.
