In 1939 the world was introduced to the magical musical The Wizard of Oz. The timeless classic has enchanted audiences since its debut and spawned all sorts of stories in comics, novels, prequel films and reimagining’s. In 1995 author Gregory Maguire and illustrator Douglas Smith brought their revisionist series Wicked that consisted of four books and inspired the popular musical of the same name. In 2024 Crazy Rich Asians director Jon M. Chu brought the first chapter of Wicked to the big screen starring Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande, Jonathan Bailey, Ethan Slater, Bowen Yang, Marissa Bode, Peter Dinklage, Michelle Yeoh, and Jeff Goldblum. Now its time for the epic conclusion with Wicked For Good.

 

Wicked For Good follows Elphaba, now demonized as The Wicked Witch of the West, who lives in exile, hidden within the Ozian forest while continuing her fight for the freedom of Oz’s silenced Animals and desperately trying to expose the truth she knows about The Wizard. Glinda, meanwhile, has become the glamorous symbol of Goodness for all of Oz, living at the palace in Emerald City and reveling in the perks of fame and popularity. Under the instruction of Madame Morrible, Glinda is deployed to serve as an effervescent comfort to Oz, reassuring the masses that all is well under the rule of The Wizard. As Glinda’s stardom expands and she prepares to marry Prince Fiyero in a spectacular Ozian wedding, she is haunted by her separation from Elphaba. She attempts to broker a conciliation between Elphaba and The Wizard, but those efforts will fail, driving Elphaba and Glinda only further apart. The aftershocks will transform Boq and Fiyero forever, and threaten the safety of Elphaba’s sister, Nessarose, when a girl from Kansas comes crashing into all their lives. As an angry mob rises against the Wicked Witch, Glinda and Elphaba will need to come together one final time. With their singular friendship now the fulcrum of their futures, they will need to truly see each other, with honesty and empathy, if they are to change themselves, and all of Oz, for good.
