New 'Wicked: For Good' songs teased as tickets go on sale for the highly anticipated film
"Wicked" fans are getting two new original songs for the final film out next month.
On Wednesday, a new "Wicked: For Good" clip was released, featuring snippets of songs sung by Ariana Grande as Glinda and Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba.
The songs teased include "The Girl in the Bubble," sung by Grande, and "No Place Like Home," sung by Erivo.
The new clip comes as tickets go on sale for the epic conclusion to director Jon M. Chu's two-part "Wicked" film series.
The first film in the set, simply titled "Wicked," premiered Nov. 22, 2024.
In an interview with Chu and the cast shared by Fandango on Wednesday, the Oscar-nominated director said there are "so many things" he's excited for fans to see in "Wicked: For Good."
"The temperature is up," he said in the interview, a snippet of which was shared on Instagram. "In movie one, we saw cracks of who they are to become. We saw them make choices that position them on the stage of what could be. And in movie two, we get to see those things play out."
He continued, "We get to see the sacrifices that it takes, the choices and the hard questions that come when you are alone fighting for justice, when you are alone in your tower, deciding whether this is the right thing to do, when you are in power and you have choices of how you're going to take a nation, or when you have ambition that pushes you to do something."
Along with Erivo and Grande, the film stars Jeff Goldblum as the Wonderful Wizard of Oz and Michelle Yeoh as Madame Morrible.
Jonathan Bailey also stars in the film as Fiyero, while Ethan Slater plays Boq and Marissa Bode plays Nessarose.
"Wicked" earned 10 Oscar nominations at the 97th Academy Awards and won two: best costume design and best production design.
Erivo was nominated for best actress and Grande was also nominated for best supporting actress.
The films are based on Gregory Maguire's 1995 book, "Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West," which was inspired by L. Frank Baum's 1900 novel, "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz." The musical adaptation of Maguire's story, which starred Kristin Chenoweth as Glinda and Idina Menzel as Elphaba, opened on Broadway in 2003.
"Wicked: For Good" arrives in theaters Nov. 21.
