00:00Just look at me, not with your eyes, but theirs.
00:06Welcome to Ms. Mojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the theories we've conjured up
00:11from what's already been shared or revealed to us from Wicked For Good.
00:15If you haven't heard the whole story yet, watch out, spoilers are about to drop like a house from the sky.
00:20What have you done to me?
00:23Number 10, new songs placements.
00:26We know that Wicked For Good will feature two new songs, one for each of our leading ladies.
00:31So Ari and I both have new songs in it, and Stephen Schwartz wrote two new songs,
00:35and we did some collaboration on it, so we're definitely singing in it.
00:39Now we also know that Elphaba's song No Place Like Home will come in after Thank Goodness,
00:44while The Girl in the Bubble is sandwiched between March of the Witch Hunters and For Good.
00:49So we can't help but wonder where they'll fit contextually.
00:56Will No Place Like Home follow what looks like Elphaba crashing Thank Goodness?
01:06Will The Girl in the Bubble be a solo moment after Glinda realizes what Madame Morrible has done?
01:11Or is she sharing the cost of being Glinda the Good with Elphaba?
01:14Either way, we can't wait to hear these songs in full.
01:17No Place Like Home
01:22Number 9, more cameos.
01:26Part 1 was a treasure trove of cameos, and For Good promises even more.
01:31The wizard will see you now!
01:33We're still waiting to see former West End Elphaba and Glinda, Carrie Ellis and Diane Pilkington,
01:38and it sounds like they won't be the only Wicked alums to look out for either.
01:42If you go and watch the second one, just look out for some familiar faces.
01:47We already think we spotted Christopher Scott, the movie's choreographer, in the trailer.
01:56We're also curious if we'll see any more of the Broadway cast.
01:59Joel Grey, Norbert Leo Butts, Michelle Federer, William Eumanns?
02:04Maybe Christopher Fitzgerald will be spotted among the Witch Hunters.
02:07Perhaps most intriguing, however, is that Kristen Chenoweth has teased that we may or may not have seen the last of her and Idina Menzel.
02:14We'll sing a joyous...
02:17Number 8, Glinda's Wonderful Role
02:23One thing that surprised many Wicked fans from the trailer is that Glinda now seems to be part of Wonderful.
02:29In the show, this number is shared by the wizard and Elphaba alone.
02:32So why bring Glinda in?
02:34Wonderful, they'll call you wonderful.
02:39Come and be wonderful.
02:42Trust me, it's fun.
02:43One theory is that the wizard's second attempt to get Elphaba on his side might hit harder if it comes from someone she already cares deeply about.
02:51We wouldn't be surprised if the wizard is using Glinda to tempt Elphaba.
02:55After all, isn't Glinda the Good really just a puppet in this regime?
02:58We will be wonderful.
03:00So when everything inevitably goes horribly wrong, the emotional stakes between the two former best friends are raised even higher.
03:14I'm a public figure now.
03:15People expect me to fly.
03:17Be encouraging.
03:18Number 7, what makes Bach tick?
03:21Although we don't see much connection between Bach and Elphaba in part 1, aside from a deleted scene or two.
03:26There's no reason to think they weren't on good terms back in their shiz days.
03:30Look at what Hope did for you.
03:33Your dreams are coming true.
03:34Why not mine?
03:35In the book, they're definitely friends.
03:37So why is he so easily convinced that Elphaba is wicked?
03:41Has Nessa been poisoning him against her sister?
03:43We imagine for good we'll explore that dynamic and how it ties into Nessa's changed storyline.
03:48Why can't you just tell my sister the truth?
03:53That I don't love her?
03:55I don't want to hurt her.
04:01Well, you're going to end up hurting her anyway.
04:03Hopefully, it'll also shed light on how Bach becomes so heartless.
04:06If you know, you know.
04:08And while we're at it, maybe we'll finally see how the lion came to view his rescuer as the enemy.
04:13I didn't mean to scare you.
04:14Number 6, changes to Nessa Rose's arc.
04:17One confirmed change is that Nessa's newly enchanted shoes won't give her the ability to walk.
04:22The creative team said that this time, they wanted to avoid the trope that a person with a disability's life is, quote,
04:28fixed by becoming able-bodied.
04:30Don't help me.
04:35She'll be fine.
04:36Instead, as the trailer shows, Nessa can now levitate.
04:39Well, Elphaba does say everyone deserves a chance to fly, right?
04:43That shift completely changes her motivation.
04:45Look, I think you're wonderful.
04:49And we deserve each other.
04:51Don't you see?
04:53This is our chance.
04:55Maybe this time, Nessa's chasing her heart's desire more fiercely.
04:59Even at the expense of someone else's.
05:01Literally.
05:02Or maybe the shoes are Elphaba's way of sharing her magic with her sister.
05:05Either way, this story is all about consequences.
05:08And in Nessa's, she pays dearly.
05:11There's a house.
05:12And it's flying through the sky.
05:14Number 5.
05:15Scarecrows and Tin Men and Lions.
05:17Oh my.
05:18We're especially excited to see how the film handles this intersection between The Wizard of Oz and Wicked.
05:23Bring me the broom of the Wicked Witch of the West.
05:27Now that we know who Dorothy's companions are in the Wicked world, it opens up a whole new set of questions.
05:33One theory we love is that the Scarecrow rallies the others to his side and that all three are secretly in cahoots.
05:39I've got a plan how to get in there.
05:41Fine.
05:42He's got a plan.
05:43That would explain how they either don't seem to know each other or perhaps pretend not to when Dorothy's around.
05:49Since Dorothy's already been confirmed to remain more of a background figure,
05:53it seems likely these three will serve as the bridge between both stories, with a few more twists and turns along the way.
06:00Goodbye, Dorothy.
06:01Bye, Dodo.
06:01It's just that one road the whole time.
06:03Number 4.
06:04The Wedding.
06:05From the first teaser drop, fans have been speculating over those glimpses of Glinda in a wedding dress.
06:11Is it a dream sequence?
06:12A what-might-have-been?
06:13Fierro and I are getting married.
06:16Oh!
06:18He asked you already?
06:20Oh, he doesn't know yet.
06:21Well, here's another idea.
06:23We see the animals stampede through the wedding.
06:25And who's on a mission to save them all?
06:27This is the work of the Wicked Witch!
06:29Exactly.
06:30What if Glinda was in on it, and the wedding itself was a distraction to help Elphaba's cause?
06:35Now imagine that after all that, Fierro still runs off with Elphaba.
06:39Somehow I fall under, under your spell.
06:45We can practically hear Glinda's heart shattering into a billion pieces.
06:49Maybe all that anger, hurt, and betrayal start swirling inside her like a tornado.
06:54You see where we're going with this, right?
06:56Number 3.
06:57That mystery horse rider.
06:59Someone who's kept fans guessing for a while is that caped figure on horseback.
07:06Who could it be?
07:07Is it Elphaba?
07:08The shot briefly before shows her hat, and this rider doesn't appear to be wearing one.
07:13Or could it be Fierro?
07:15He does need to get to Kiyomoko.
07:17But a detail in the most recent trailer makes us wonder if it's Glinda.
07:21Stop this.
07:22It's gone too far.
07:24Elphaba.
07:26They're coming for you.
07:27We see her pull out a pair of boots from her closet that aren't exactly her style.
07:31Could this be part of a disguise she dons to rush in and save her friend before the mob closes in?
07:36And a horse is probably more inconspicuous than a bubble, too.
07:40Does that do what I think it does?
07:43No.
07:46No way!
07:49I'm obsesculated.
07:50Number 2.
07:52Dr. Dillamond and Dulcibear's fate.
07:54Elphaba's life is greatly shaped by two animals.
07:57Dr. Dillamond and her nanny Dulcibear.
07:59Both set to return in for good, yet absent from the trailers.
08:03If you've seen the show, then you know what happens to Dr. Dillamond.
08:06We cannot escape the past.
08:09And we ignore it at our own peril.
08:11Some have theorized that perhaps the film will take the book's approach here instead.
08:15We sincerely hope not.
08:17A more interesting idea is that Dr. Dillamond won't be the only character to strengthen Elphaba's resolve against the wizard.
08:23It's you.
08:25You're behind all of this.
08:28You're the reason why people are turning against the animals.
08:30It's all because of you.
08:32Imagine all those feelings coursing through her when she sees not only her teacher,
08:36but also her beloved mother figure stripped of her voice and her freedom.
08:41We can hardly bear to think about it.
08:43That's it.
08:44I'm leaving Oz.
08:45While I can still speak the word goodbye.

09:03Number 1.
09:04Does Glinda Know the Truth?
09:05In the stage show, Glinda faces the Ozians, believing she's lost her best friend.
09:10With almost everything she ever wanted now hers, what does it mean without the person who mattered most?
09:15Because I knew you.
09:18And I've had so many friends.
09:20I have been changed for good.
09:24But only one that mattered.
09:26Their bond is central to the story and has been deepened further in the film.
09:30So what if, in the movie, Elphaba doesn't hide her plans from Glinda?
09:34Here's the plan.
09:36I have no plan.
09:38Well, I do.
09:38Oh, thank Oz.
09:39What if, and this is a huge spoiler, Glinda knows that Elphaba survives?
09:44What if she's even instrumental in helping her get away?
09:47It would be an incredibly sweet, thoughtful, and brilliantly nuanced way to put the central love story front and center one last time.
09:54It would certainly change the entire tone of the finale.
09:57Maybe it's even changed for the better.
09:59Think of what we can do together for good.
10:11Do you have any other thrillifying or scandalacious theories about Wicked for good?
10:16Let us know in the comments.
10:17Do you guys know what the hell you say?
10:21Let us know in the comments.
10:22It would beidé good.
10:29We hope it is given some simple talk about it.
