"If you had told me before I went to see Wicked: For Good that Elphaba and Glinda's "For Good" duet was not the most heart-breaking moment of the film, I would have assumed you: a) actually don't understand the story b) have the empathy skills of a slice of raw potato c) hate women or d) all of the above. But no, it's not. The so-called door scene takes that award, and I don't think I will ever recover from it."
"Wicked: For Good, the second part of Jon M Chu's two-part adaption of Broadway and West End hit musical Wicked, itself adapted from Gregory Maguire's 1995 dark fantasy version of the original Wizard of Oz story by Frank L Baum, opened in cinemas on Friday (21 November). It grossed $226 million (£173 million) worldwide on its opening weekend, setting a record for a film adaptation of a Broadway musical, and leaving even the first instalment in its wake."
"The sequel picks up a few years later and finds Elphaba - now in hiding and branded the Wicked Witch - still trying to convince the citizens of Oz of the wizard's villainy, while working to liberate the increasingly oppressed animal population. Glinda, on the other hand, given the title of "the Good", is serving as the pure and beautiful spokesperson for the wizard, and is engaged to a disillusioned Fiyero."

The sequel follows Elphaba, now hiding and branded the Wicked Witch, as she exposes the wizard's villainy and fights for oppressed animals. Glinda serves as the wizard's pure spokesperson and is engaged to a disillusioned Fiyero. A series of choices and Dorothy's arrival alter Oz's course. Gelphie fans anticipated a darker, more emotional second act and found the door scene devastating.
