Glinda and Elphaba’s story is actually romantic in Wicked: For Good. Having split the stage show in half at the interval, Jon M. Chu’s sequel picks up “12 tide turns” after Cynthia Erivo’s Elphaba defied gravity and committed to a life in exile fighting for good, while Ariana Grande’s Galinda has changed her name and become the figurehead of Oz’s propaganda machine.
But while they’re framed as duelling Wicked and Good Witches, in Wicked: For Good their story is played with even more romantic undertones than its predecessor.
