But, in the meantime, the Broadway stage production offers hints about what the ending of the first installment will mean for the rest of Oz. Wicked director Jon M.
Chu previously explained why he decided to split the Tony Award-winning musical into a two-part movie extravaganza. “As we prepared this production over the last year, it became increasingly clear that it would be impossible to wrestle the story of Wicked into a single film without doing some real damage to it,” Chu wrote back in 2022. “As we tried to cut songs or trim characters, those decisions began to feel like fatal compromises to the source material that has entertained us all for so many years. So we decided to give ourselves a bigger canvas and make not just one Wicked movie but TWO!!!! With more space, we can tell the story of Wicked as it was meant to be told while bringing even more depth and surprise to the journeys of these beloved characters.” That depth was certainly apparent throughout the first Wicked movie, which offered a closer look at Elphaba’s childhood before she became known as the Wicked Witch of the West. It also tracked the enemies-to-best-friends relationship between Shiz University roommates Elphaba and Galinda, the latter of whom eventually becomes known as Glinda the Good.Ultimately, the Wicked movies follows the same narrative structure as the stage musical’s two acts, with Part One ending after the climatic performance of “Defying Gravity.” For an in-depth breakdown of Part One’s ending, keep reading ahead.
