Good news, Ozians! It's almost time for "Wicked" to return from intermission.
The first trailer for "Wicked: For Good," the highly anticipated follow-up to the blockbuster musical "Wicked," has debuted in conjunction with a theatrical rerelease of the original film.
The footage teases the second half of the Broadway show, which picks up with the people of Oz living in fear of Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo) after she defied the Wizard (Jeff Goldblum) and was branded the Wicked Witch of the West.
Elphaba is shown to be in exile in the footage, speaking out against the Wizard as Fiyero (Jonathan Bailey) is said to be hot on her trail. Grande and Erivo's emotional rendition of "For Good," the most famous song from the second half of "Wicked," plays throughout the trailer, and Erivo can also be heard singing "No Good Deed."
Dorothy Gale also appears at several points in the footage, teasing that the sequel will more directly incorporate the events of "The Wizard of Oz." In one shot, Dorothy stands before the Wizard alongside the Tin Man, the Scarecrow and the Cowardly Lion.
