"Though it's about 25 minutes shorter than the first film, Wicked: For Good's two-hour-and-17-minute run time may still be daunting for moviegoers with small bladders or for anyone who overhydrated on their way to see Oz's sexiest man alive. If the idea of taking a mid-movie bathroom break sends you flying off the handle, we have good news: Layered between important Easter eggs and major musical performances are a few clock ticks when you can step out for relief."
"The first, and arguably the more catchy of the two, is called "No Place Like Home" and starts about 35 minutes into the movie. Without spoiling anything, I'll tell you that she encounters a few animals on the yellow brick road and sings to them about what Oz means to her and why it's worth fighting for. Leave right when Cynthia starts singing, and you have about four minutes before her next important development."
"A little over 50 minutes in, Elphaba arrives at the Royal Palace of Oz to confront the Wizard. Stay seated through her reunion with Glinda, and you'll have about five minutes if you get up when Jeff Goldblum starts singing "Wonderful." It's a nice tune, but there aren't any major plot developments; the Wizard and Glinda just try to convince Elphaba to join forces with them, unsuccessfully."
Wicked: For Good runs two hours and 17 minutes, about 25 minutes shorter than the first film. The film contains Easter eggs and major musical performances, yet also provides several brief, low-stakes windows suitable for quick bathroom breaks. Around 35 minutes in, the song "No Place Like Home" begins and offers about four minutes to step out. A little after the 50-minute mark, Jeff Goldblum sings "Wonderful," providing roughly five minutes with no major plot shifts. Near 1 hour 20 minutes, a short tornado-conjuring sequence unfolds over approximately three minutes, creating another brief interval.
