Wicked: For Good
Wickedwas a massive hit despite and because of the small changes it made from the Broadway production , andWicked : For Goodlooks to be have some standardised decisions , one of which I can only be glad about . The second half of the two - part movie adaptation of the fabled Broadway musical will continue to focus on therelationship between Elphaba ( Cynthia Erivo ) and Glinda(Ariana Grande - Butera ) , which is increasingly strained as they are forced to be enemy amid conflict in Oz . Erivo and Grande both earned Oscar nominations for their performances in the 2025 awards time of year , butWickedowes its success to an across - the - board amazing shape .
Wicked ’s castincludes the profoundly charismatic Jonathan Bailey as part of the burgeoning love triangle , as well as industry old hand and recent Oscar success Michelle Yeoh as the designing and powerful Madame Morrible . Expanding the roughly three - hour melodic to a five - to - six - hour movie experience has also meant that sure supporting characters can have with child roles . As seen inWicked ’s terminate , as well as throughout its runtime , the style the side characters of Shiz ’s pupil torso react to everything is important to the main theme , meaning the return of at least two of them will have its own consequence onWicked 2 .

Pfannee & Shenshen Won’t Just Disappear From Glinda’s Life
Pfannee and Shenshen wing Glinda throughoutWicked , her two would - be best friends before Elphaba .

puckish : For Good is go to be a great conclusion to Elphaba and Glinda ’s tarradiddle , but there is one detail from the melodic the movie should change .
Pfannee and Shenshen are never named in the Broadway show(and only in one ofWicked ’s deleted scenesin the motion-picture show ) and they blend in much more with the whole pack of Shiz students on stage . The moving picture already made them stand out by giving them more scenes with just the two of them and Glinda . However , in the 2d half of the melodious , they essentially disappear into the rest of the supporting players of Ozian citizen .

Bolstered by their clowning experience , especially Yang ’s onSNL , the duette really added something toWickedwith their hilarious backup - professional dancer routine for Glinda . However , Pfannee and Shenshen , along with the rest of the Ozian world , also illustrate the effect of propagandaand mob mind-set with how quick they are to buy into what the regime is saying about Elphaba when they , to some extent , recognise her personally and have never seen her hurt anyone .

Alongside Ariana Grande ’s unlikely comedic attainment , Yang and James as Pfannee and Shenshen will continue to bring humor toWickedwith their satirical characters . However , it is also sounding like the duet might end up having to excogitate and own up to what they have been a part of . Given how gravid they were in the first half , everyone should be happy that Pfannee and Shenshen are reelect forWicked : For Good , while the balance remains to be hear .
