Adam Lambert rocks out on the interestingly titled song and highly theatrical, “The Vanquishing of the Three Headed Sea Witch.” Unfortunately, according to Lloyd Webber in his video announcement, the song is no longer in the show. But it’s on the soundtrack for fans to enjoy. Check it out below.
The Queen frontman has been busy lately with a song on the Netflix show “We The People” which teaches civics to kids. Additionally, Adam is set to play the devil in a new Netflix animated feature. And, he performed and curated a day of performances for Outloud: Raising Voices back in June for LGBT Pride.

The production stars Carrie Hope Fletcher as Cinderella, and Ivano Turco as Prince Sebastian.
