Chronology
It follows Elphaba, the would-be Wicked Witch of the West, and her relationship with Glinda, the Good Witch of the North. It is the second part of a two-part feature film adaptation of the Broadway musical. Wicked was first announced in April 2022 that it would be split into two films, with composer Stephen Schwartz explaining: “The truth is, for a while we were trying to make a movie (that) required us to cut or leave out things that we wanted to include and that we thought fans of the show and the story would appreciate.” He added: “We found it very difficult to get past ‘Defying Gravity’ without a break. That song was written specifically to bring the curtain down, and any scene after that without a break felt very anticlimactic. It has appeared in the AniMat animated film Cast: Chip n' Dale: A New Legacy (2022). No One Mourns the Wicked (Reprise) Written by Stephen Schwartz Performed by the Ensemble
