In the lead-up to the release of the Wicked sequel, Wicked: For Good, fans have been eagerly awaiting any news about the film's new music. Now, details have emerged about two original songs that will be featured in the highly anticipated follow-up to the beloved Broadway musical.
The first song, "No Place Like Home," will be performed by Cynthia Erivo as the iconic character Elphaba.

This track delves into Glinda's transformation, as she decides to not just call herself "good," but to truly embody the role of Glinda the Good. The song uses Glinda's famous floating bubble as a metaphor for her sheltered life, suggesting that it's time for her to face reality and become a true citizen of the world.
Both songs promise to offer a deeper exploration of the iconic characters' emotional journeys, providing fans with a tantalizing glimpse of what's to come in the Wicked sequel. As the release of Wicked: For Good draws nearer, excitement continues to build around the film's potential to expand on the beloved story and characters.
