The first “Wicked” movie introduced us to Elphaba, the misunderstood green girl, and Glinda, the bubbly blonde. They navigated Shiz University, dealt with love triangle drama, and faced off against the Wizard of Oz. But that was just the beginning. “Wicked: For Good” picks up where we left off, with Elphaba defying gravity (literally and figuratively), setting the stage for an emotional rollercoaster.

“Wicked: For Good” isn’t just a catchy title—it’s loaded with meaning. It’s a nod to the iconic “For Good” duet between Elphaba and Glinda, but also raises the question: will the witches finally do good, or are they wicked for good this time? Either way, we’re in for an emotional ride.

Director Jon M. Chu is at the helm, and if his previous work is anything to go by, the visuals will be jaw-dropping. With writers Winnie Holzman and Dana Fox shaping the script, and Stephen Schwartz crafting two new songs, the film promises to be a feast for both the eyes and ears.

In “Wicked: For Good“, Elphaba and Glinda are on opposite sides of a political divide. Elphaba leads a resistance against the Wizard’s regime, while Glinda plays the role of a government puppet. The love triangle is back, and tensions are about to soar. Could the film rewrite Oz history? Only time will tell!

Stephen Schwartz is blessing us with two brand-new songs for the sequel, alongside the iconic hits we know and love. The possibilities are endless—will Elphaba get a power ballad, or will we hear a heart-wrenching duet between Fiyero and Glinda? Either way, we’re here for it.
