Splitting the adaptation into two parts means double the fun.

With the final chapter fast approaching, anticipation is at an all-time high.
Heres everything you’re gonna wanna know before Wicked: For Good takes center stage.
The Grammy, Emmy, and Tony-winning Erivo delivers a show-stopping performance that redefines the musical in every sense.
Erivos Elphaba did not just defy gravity in Wicked Part 1.
It passed our highest expectations with vocals and visuals.
Shes on this big crazy ride around our sound stage, yet shes singing live and in character.
I dont know how she did it.
This is Elphaba the Wicked Witch.
How she moves, how she battles, figuring out the darker side of her.
Grande reacted tearfully to landing the role of Glinda the Good.
I dont know what to say, she sobbed in her viral reaction onTikTok.
I love her so much.
Im going to take such good care of her.
Wicked: For Good is expected to pick up right where the first part left off.
The seemingly carefree and charming Prince had no trouble charming anyone on campus.
Strangely enough, Jeff Goldblums Wizard might have subtle parallels to a Trump-like figure whether intentional or not.

I loved how Jon put it, was: Shes not the villain.
As an actor I was given such a nice platform to maneuver around.
However, Chus Wicked injects more tragedy into the original musical.
Boqs disastrous transformation shatters Nessas heart.
But I dont think I can say more than that.

Fans are in for major story twists in the Wickeds finale.
Meanwhile, the drama between Boq and Nessarose intensifies as they make horribly bad decisions that shape their destinies.
What about Dorothy Gale?
Director Chu gives us the scoop: In the show, Dorothy is around.
They have to intersect, and you’ve got the option to only tease it so much.
I wont say whether shes a character, necessarily, in movie two, he shared withVariety.
Theres a part of me that wants everyones Dorothy to be the whatever Dorothy they want.
And yet, there is interaction and some crossover.
So Ill leave that up to Part Two.
Fans can expect something different in the second half of Wicked.
If Part 1 is about choices, Part 2 is about consequences, Chu tellsEntertainment Weekly.
It can be lonely, it can be hard.
Erivo confirmed the directors vision toVariety: Were diving deeper into the consequences of the characters choices.
The story is richer, and the stakes are higher.
Its not just a continuation; its a transformation.
None of the characters are purely good or bad.
Theyre flawed, complex, and human.
