Wicked 2 Is For Good
Written by Stephen Schwartz, of course.
In a way, this Wicked press season is its own part one, an appetizer if you will, as I predict next year’s press cycle would’ve worked out all the kinks from the first — maybe we won’t be holding space for “Defying Gravity” anymore and making room for “For Good” — so there might be less tears but more “theater kids belting it out at a Dennys” vibes. Schwartz explained the decision to The Messenger in 2023, “The storytelling required it, and therefore they were created—the intention was that they were organic and not imposed on the movie.” It’s too late to make this request but more Jonathan Bailey please. Wicked: Part Two plays out at the same time as the events of The Wizard of Oz, and in the latter, we meet Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Cowardly Lion, and the Tinman.
