With less than six months until its release on November 21, 'Wicked: For Good' has generated significant excitement among fans due to Cynthia Erivo's powerful performance in the first installment. The film features returning characters, including Erivo as Elphaba and Ariana Grande as Glinda, both of whom navigate complex relationships amidst the enchanting yet tumultuous backdrop of Oz. Each character plays a pivotal role in shaping the narrative, revealing themes of acceptance and friendship, enriched by Erivo's new song that aims to resonate deeply with audiences.
Cynthia Erivo plays Elphaba Thropp, the powerful witch who hopes meeting the Wizard will grant her the acceptance she's always craved. But as the end of Part 1 shows, the man running Oz isn't quite what he seems.
Ariana Grande received an Oscar nod for her portrayal of Glinda Upland. In Part 1, the Shiz queen bee forges an unexpected connection with her roommate, Elphaba - a friendship that seems to have changed them both (for good, you might say) ahead of Part 2.
Before her Oscar-nominated turn as Elphaba, Erivo earned critical acclaim for her roles in the film Harriet and the stage musical The Color Purple - to name just a few titles across her multi-hyphenate career. Erivo also co-wrote a new, original song for Wicked: For Good that, she told left the entire crew 'in tears.'
Though he might encourage his fellow students to 'live the unexamined life,' Prince Fiyero's arrival causes quite a stir at Shiz - especially among Elphaba and Glinda, who both have feelings for the handsome newcomer.
