The hotly anticipated concluding chapter in the two-part feature film sensation drops us back down in Oz, where former best friends Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo) and Glinda (Ariana Grande) have become full-blown antagonists as the Wicked Witch of the West and the Good Witch of the North. Far worse, it is Glinda, now a confidente of the Wizard and Madame Morrible, who has helped spread the evil rumors about Elphaba across the kingdom. Prince Fiyero, Boq, and Elphaba’s sister Nessarose are confronting troubles and transformations of their own when a girl from Kansas comes crashing into all of their lives.
Wicked: For Good is a dazzling musical spectacle that, like the Gregory Maguire novel and Broadway musical before it, challenges the very meaning of good vs. evil.
“The movie is a testament to diversity (species included) as a common good as well as to love, friendship and solidarity. It’s on the side of kindness, which is itself, well, a balm.” — Manohla Dargis, The New York Times
“Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande are twice as wonderful the second time around.” — Peter Travers, The Travers Take
