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.

A deeply cinematic culmination of Wicked, Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande cast a spellbinding final enchantment -- this time For Good.

Nikki Gemmell The Australian Dec 15
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
Juan Barquin Little White Lies Dec 12
2/5
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
Perri Nemiroff Perri Nemiroff (YouTube) Dec 7
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
Robin Holabird KUNR (Reno, NV) 3d
Ultimately, Wicked: For Good—or essentially Act II--fails to defy the downward pulling gravity of its source material, a structure that means it fired its best shots the first time around. Go to Full Review
Jeffrey M. Anderson Combustible Celluloid 4d
3.5/4
Every Chu film I've seen since then has the same fluidity and grace. Even if they never seem very important or even artistic, he knows how to put a movie together. Go to Full Review
Alan French Sunshine State Cineplex 5d
3/10
Chu can never make Wicked: For Good even competent. The amount of nostalgia it tries to employ, both towards Part I and The Wizard of Oz, is embarrassing and poorly executed. Go to Full Review
