Wicked: For Good is the sequel to the Wicked film, which was released last year (and earned costume designer Paul Tazewell an Academy Award). Both films are adaptations of the long-running Wicked musical on Broadway. The screen adaptation, which includes new songs by Stephen Schwartz, is helmed by In the Heights screen director Jon M. Chu. Wicked book writer Winnie Holzman penned the screenplay with Dana Fox, and Tony winner Tazewell designed the costumes, earning an Academy Award for his work.
Wicked, injecting a new backstory onto the classic tale The Wizard of Oz, debuted on Broadway in 2003 and continues to be an audience favorite at the Gershwin Theatre. Based on the novel by Gregory Maguire, the musical features music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz and a book by Winnie Holzman. The original cast included Tony winners Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth as Elphaba and Glinda, respectively. The musical is now the fourth longest-running production in Broadway history.
Reprising their Wicked: Part One roles are Grande as Glinda, Erivo as Elphaba, West End Company Olivier winner and Bridgerton star Jonathan Bailey as Fiyero, SpongeBob SquarePants star Ethan Slater as Boq, Michelle Yeoh as Madame Morrible, Emmy winner Peter Dinklage as Dr. Dillamond, Jeff Goldblum as The Wizard, and newcomer Marissa Bode as Nessarose, the first wheelchair-using actor in the musical's history to take on the role.
Wicked: For Good also features Emmy nominee Bowen Yang and Bronwyn James as Glinda’s fawning assistants/childhood friends, Pfannee and ShenShen. BAFTA and Grammy nominee Sharon D. Clarke (Caroline, or Change) will also return as the voice of Elphaba’s childhood nanny, Dulcibear. See images from Wicked: For Good in the gallery below.
