Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo), now demonized as The Wicked Witch of the West, lives in exile, hidden within the Ozian forest while continuing her fight for the freedom of Oz's silenced Animals and desperately trying to expose the truth she knows about The Wizard (Jeff Goldblum). Glinda, meanwhile, has become the glamorous symbol of Goodness for all of Oz, living at the palace in Emerald City and reveling in the perks of fame and popularity. Under the instruction of Madame Morrible (Oscar® winner Michelle Yeoh), Glinda is deployed to serve as an effervescent comfort to Oz, reassuring the masses that all is well under the rule of The Wizard. As Glinda's stardom expands and she prepares to marry Prince Fiyero (Olivier award winner and Emmy and SAG nominee Jonathan Bailey) in a spectacular Ozian wedding, she is haunted by her separation from Elphaba. She attempts to broker a conciliation between Elphaba and The Wizard, but those efforts will fail, driving Elphaba and Glinda only further apart. The aftershocks will transform Boq (Tony nominee Ethan Slater) and Fiyero forever, and threaten the safety of Elphaba's sister, Nessarose (Marissa Bode), when a girl from Kansas comes crashing into all their lives. As an angry mob rises against the Wicked Witch, Glinda and Elphaba will need to come together one final time. With their singular friendship now the fulcrum of their futures, they will need to truly see each other, with honesty and empathy, if they are to change themselves, and all of Oz, for good.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Taking one last lap down the yellow brick road, Wicked: For Good's darker tone and unhurried pacing sometimes get in the way, but this epic conclusion ultimately brings Elphaba and Glinda's story home in rousing fashion.

4/5
Is this second half better than the first? No. But they’re part of a whole. Wicked will go down in history as one of the greatest films of the musical genre, and, refreshingly, with two females and their friendship central to the narrative. Go to Full Review

With no substance and no style to be found, all that is left in Wicked: For Good is two actresses, doing more than just belting their hearts out by giving genuinely compelling performances. Go to Full Review

4/5
The mix of the film being a beautiful journey of being changed for good but also one that acknowledges the power of public perception and how hard it can be to change it, even when it’s based on lies, gives For Good a significant amount of staying power. Go to Full Review

Just in time for Thanksgiving, Universal Pictures presents us with an overstuffed turkey of a musical sequel. Go to Full Review
Jeff Beck The Blu Spot Jan 19
4/5
It's a spectacular finale that is equal in every way to its predecessor, with marvelous performances from Cynthia Erivo & Ariana Grande (and the rest of the fantastic ensemble), gorgeous production design & costumes, and excellent songs/music. Go to Full Review
Chase Hutchinson The Inlander (Spokane, WA) Jan 8
What do you get if you take The Wizard of Oz, strip it of all its vibrant color, and then pretend this is something that actually makes it feel "grounded" in reality? Well, you’ve got the woefully wearisome Wicked: For Good. Go to Full Review

Jose 2d It feels like the ending was rush See more Glen 2d Somewhat uneven sequel. Music was far better in the previous film but there was good acting here See more pjm13 3d So creative! The sound system and big screen make this movie magical. I cannot imagine streaming this one at home. The music is beautiful. Loved this even more than the first. See more Joseph M 5d Incredible set design, singing, and cinematography. In my opinion, the first one was better but this was still worth watching. See more Michael M 6d Well, the free popcorn on National Popcorn Day was great. Insipid songs and a major plot twist characterized our experience. Certainly, musicals today are a shadow of the great ones from last century. And what in blazes did that ending mean?! See more Brigit Jan 19 The first one you definitely rewatch for the music, the second one you rewatch for the plot. Loved how everything was brought to light about the connection with wizard of oz.
