Wicked: For Good Teaser Reveals Original Songs By Cynthia Erivo & Ariana Grande As Tickets Go On Sale

The new trailer for Wicked: For Good has revealed snippets of the movie’s two new original songs. Although 2024’s Wicked only featured songs from the musical, stars Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande both perform new original songs written for their characters, Elphaba and Glinda respectively, in the upcoming Wicked: For Good, which debuts on November 21.

The official Wicked: For Good YouTube channel has unveiled a new teaser trailer for the movie in honor of tickets now being on sale. Alongside footage from the new movie, the majority of which has been revealed in previous trailers, the teaser plays snippets of songs from the upcoming movie, which adapts the second act of the original musical.

Alongside songs such as “No Good Deed” (sung by Elphaba), “Thank Goodness/I Couldn’t Be Happier” (sung by Glinda), “As Long as You’re Mine” (sung by Elphaba and Jonathan Bailey’s Fiyero), and the тιтle song “For Good” (sung by Glinda and Elphaba), the teaser includes snippets from “The Girl in the Bubble” and “There’s No Place Like Home.”

Ariana Grande will perform “The Girl in the Bubble” and Cynthia Erivo will perform “There’s No Place Like Home.” Although Erivo co-wrote the latter song, both new original songs were written by Stephen Schwartz, who wrote the music and lyrics for the original musical. Check out the teaser below:

Although the clips of the new songs from the Wicked: For Good soundtrack are brief, they offer some major insight into what they will add to the movie narratively.

This is especially the case for “The Girl in the Bubble,” which is a reference to the fact that Glinda travels via a giant magical bubble. The тιтle and the orchestration seem to imply that the song is a metaphor for Glinda being trapped by the opulent and safe life that she chose during the ending of Wicked.

“There’s No Place Like Home,” on the other hand, has a less obvious theme. However, there are two major elements that the trailer implies.

The first is that the song provides an explicit thematic link to The Wizard of Oz (to which Wicked is a prequel). The line spoken by Dorothy in Oz is a potent one, as it activates the magic of the ruby slippers that allows the character to leave Oz, something which Elphaba also does at the end of the musical.

The second clue left by the Wicked: For Good trailer is that the snippet comes at the very end, which was the position given to the Act 1 finale number “Defying Gravity” in many of the trailers for the 2024 movie. This could mean that “There’s No Place Like Home” is being positioned to be a showstopper at the same level.
