For Good" offers a pair of new songs. But it's the classics from the Broadway show that shine. We rank them all.
Good news! Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande are back as Elphaba and Glinda for "Wicked: For Good," Jon M. Chu's latest film which adapts the second act of Stephen Schwartz and Winnie Holzman's hit musical.
Wicked: For Good shines as it avoids descending into binaries with Glinda the Good and Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West to craft two nuanced, flawed heroines, and with the two new songs, the musical has been changed for the better too.
The three-hour finale will feature special appearances from Season 33 champs Joey Graziadei and Jenna Johnson and "DWTS Live 2026" tour pros.
A few weeks before the film's release, Erivo and Grande previewed the original tracks during Wicked: One Wonderful Night, a two-hour NBC musical special. Now that Wicked: For Good has officially hit theaters, the tracks are out in the world and ready to become your next new obsession.
These hit songs from the 1990s have pretty shocking lyrics. And if you weren't listening closely, you might have missed them.
