"Ahead of the film's at-home premiere on Dec. 30, Universal released a peek at one of the cut moments included among For Good's bonus features. Shared by Entertainment Tonight, the flashback scene follows Elphaba, Glinda, Nessa, Boq, and Fiyero as they venture off the Shiz campus for a picnic. It's a delightful montage - not least because it includes the buzzy but previously unseen moment Fiyero and Boq go shirtless."
"Boq decides to follow suit, and Nessa looks on in glee. Later, during the game, Nessa lands a skillful hit, and the group celebrates with Fiyero and Boq bumping chests, which inspires Elphaba and Glinda to do the same. Finally, the group unwinds on a picnic blanket with some good books (except a snoozing Fiyero, who, at this point in the story, still prefers to dance on books over reading them)."
"If you've been keeping up with Wicked updates for a while now, you know that a version of this montage was actually meant to appear in the first film. As seen in the script published by Deadline, it takes place after "Popular" - specifically, following the scene where Fiyero tells Elphaba, "You've been Galinda-field" - and before Dr. Dillamond is forcibly removed from Shiz."
Universal released a deleted picnic montage from Wicked: For Good as part of the film's at-home bonus features ahead of the Dec. 30 premiere. The flashback follows Elphaba, Glinda, Nessa, Boq, and Fiyero leaving the Shiz campus for a woods outing set to "Dancing through Life" instrumentals. The sequence shows Boq and Fiyero chopping wood without shirts, playful net games, chest-bumping celebrations, and a relaxed picnic with books and a tender moment where Elphaba gives Glinda boots. A version of the montage was scripted to appear after "Popular" and before Dr. Dillamond's removal, but it was cut from the theatrical release.
