Following the phenomenal success of last year's "Wicked," director Jon M. Chu returns with "Wicked: For Good," the epic conclusion to the untold story of Oz's witches. Academy Award nominees Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande reprise their roles as former friends now living vastly different lives - Elphaba in exile as the notorious Wicked Witch, fighting for Oz's oppressed Animals, while Glinda serves as the beloved face of the Wizard's regime alongside Michelle Yeoh's Madame Morrible. As Glinda prepares to marry Prince Fiyero (Jonathan Bailey) and a mysterious girl from Kansas arrives in Oz, the estranged friends must confront their past and unite one final time to change their world for good.
