In 2024, Jon M. Chu remade the 2003 Broadway musical 'Wicked' for the big screen with a brand-new cast, including Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo. See the 'Wicked: For Good' cast side-by-side with the stars who originated the roles.
The stage musical of “Wicked” opens with a time jump from Elphaba’s rebellious moment in “Defying Gravity.” The first scene of Act II is “Thank Goodness,” sung by Glinda as she seeks to spread joy and raise spirits as the rest of Oz wages war against Elphaba, now dubbed the Wicked Witch of the West.
Jonathan Bailey says the crazy prosthetics for his big 'Wicked: For Good' transformation at one point made him look like a big 'penis': 'There was a lot of plumbing under the skin.'
Bailey makes his debut as the brainless Scarecrow in the final scene of “Wicked: Good.” Just like in the Broadway musical, Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo) casts a protective spell on the charming and handsome Prince Fiyero Tigelaar (Bailey) in an effort to save his life.
"Wicked: For Good" returns with a magical Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande. But is the much-anticipated PG-rated sequel suitable for all youngsters?
