‘Wicked For Good’ trailer: Glinda-Elphaba test loyalty and survival

The trailer showcases a blend of striking visuals, dramatic conflict and the musical numbers that have defined the ‘Wicked’ franchise. Snippets of well-known songs such as ‘Couldn’t Be Happier’ and ‘No Good Deed’ feature prominently, heightening anticipation among long-time fans.

Set after the events of the original narrative, ‘Wicked: For Good’ follows Elphaba, now known as the “Wicked Witch of the West”, who has retreated into the forests of Oz.

In contrast, Glinda has emerged as a celebrated figure in the Emerald City, carefully navigating her position of influence.

When unrest grows and a hostile mob threatens Elphaba’s survival, the two women are forced to confront their shared history and fractured bond. The trailer hints at themes of power, redemption, and the endurance of friendship, with Glinda asking the pivotal question: “Think of what we could do together.”
