    The Music of Wicked: For Good
    Nov 20 2025
    The music of Wicked has always carried the heart of the story—first on Broadway, and now across two epic films. In this episode, composer and lyricist Stephen Schwartz, music supervisor and arranger Stephen Oremus, and film composer John Powell take us inside the melodies, themes, and collaborative process that shaped Wicked: For Good—from reimagining classic songs to building a new musical vocabulary for Jon M. Chu’s cinematic vision. Director Jon M. Chu and producer Marc Platt reflect on how music guided some of the film’s boldest choices, while Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande, Jonathan Bailey, Marissa Bode, and Jeff Goldblum share how performing these numbers—often live—transformed their characters and the world of Oz itself. Spoiler alert: this episode explores musical changes between the Broadway show and the film adaptation—including reimagined numbers and the emotional architecture behind them. But we’re saving the two new songs and the titular number for next week! Watch Wicked: For Good at home on the Apple TV app. https://apple.co/WFGMovie Learn more about your ad choices.

    Inside the New Songs of Wicked: For Good
    Nov 27 2025
    In Wicked: For Good, two new songs open a window into what Elphaba and Glinda have never spoken aloud. Composer and lyricist Stephen Schwartz, executive music producer Stephen Oremus, and director Jon M.

Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande share how performing the new material live shaped their portrayal of separation, reunion, confrontation, and the choices that ultimately lead them to “For Good.” And with insight from Jonathan Bailey, Ethan Slater, and cinematographer Alice Brooks, we explore the intense and cinematic turning points that bring the story to its final, unforgettable moments.

    Wicked cast a vivid spell with its production design — and Wicked: For Good deepens that magic by expanding Oz into an even grander, more immersive world.

Chu take us inside the craft that shaped everything from the Emerald City’s skyline to the Yellow Brick Road, revealing how towering practical sets, intricate illusions, and cutting-edge VFX bring this new chapter of Oz to life. Cast members Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande, Jonathan Bailey, Jeff Goldblum, Marissa Bode, and Bronwyn James share what it felt like to inhabit these environments — performing alongside VFX animals, riding the Wizard’s hand-built rollercoaster, and stepping into spaces that were at times fully constructed and at other times entirely imagined — a testament to the collaborative magic behind every corner of this world.

    Dec 11 2025
    The characters of Wicked are defined not only by what they do, but by how they appear — and in Wicked: For Good, every nuance of style, color, silhouette, and texture becomes a clue to who they are and where they’re going. Hair and makeup designer Frances Hannon, costume designer Paul Tazewell, and director Jon M. Chu take us inside the artistry behind Elphaba’s evolving green and Glinda’s luminous blonde — from the microbraids, nails, and freckles tracing Elphaba’s journey to the shimmering gowns, bubble dresses, and wedding silhouette shaping Glinda’s. They also share the story behind Elphaba’s iconic knit cardigan in As Long As You’re Mine, as well as the transformations that define Boq’s Tin Man, Fiyero’s Scarecrow, Nessa’s journey, and the signature looks of the Wizard and Madame Morrible. Cast members Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande, Jonathan Bailey, Ethan Slater, Jeff Goldblum, and Marissa Bode share how these looks shaped their performances — grounding power, vulnerability, and reinvention in every frame.
