00:00In Wicked For Good, they're both stepping into this new space in their lives,

00:05and I think that actually makes them all the more powerful.

00:11As Elphaba and Glinda dive into Wicked For Good, much has changed.

00:17They realize that what they had in film one can never come back again,

00:20and what they have to move into is something very different.

00:24It's a much more mature emotional journey about the consequences of the hard choices

00:29that you make.

00:32You're the only friend I ever had.

00:34And I've had so many friends.

00:40And it's really about them trying to get back together in some way,

00:44even if the fates don't allow that.

00:47Haven't you heard? I'm the Wicked Witch of the West.

00:50I believe their bond is unbreakable, but it is deeply challenged by the distance that they have to

00:56navigate.

00:57We really just get to see how far we can push this friendship. There's nuance, there's hurt,

01:02there's forgiveness.

01:03It's wild, it's unbridled.

01:05It feels really, really epic.

01:08Bring me the broom of the Wicked Witch.

01:13It also is the intersection between the wonderful Wizard of Oz and the world of Wicked.

01:19We get to see how these characters like the Tin Man and the Scarecrow and the Lion come to be.

01:24It's an interesting concept because you now get to see what happens behind the scenes and what's been

01:29happening away from Dorothy, how they end up where they are.

01:33Here we are on the yellow brick road. Can you believe it?

01:37We see truly the origin story of the Witches of Oz.

01:41The effect that we have on each other is forever.

01:50It is what drew me to Wicked from the very beginning.

01:56Elphaba, they're coming for you.

02:01I hope that it encourages people to keep fighting for what they believe in.

02:04We really want this movie to feel like it was an epic conclusion to a journey.

02:13And you get to the guts of what Wicked is all about.

02:18These two women love each other so much and they truly change each other for the better.

02:24It's time for both of us to fly!

02:36It's been a heck of a ride.
