Wicked Song Placement Shifts Glinda's Arc
23 Nov
Summary
- A new song, 'The Girl in the Bubble,' appears in Wicked: For Good.
- The song's placement was moved earlier in the film by the editor.
- This change significantly impacts Glinda's character development.
The upcoming film, Wicked: For Good, has added a significant new musical number titled "The Girl in the Bubble." This song, performed by Ariana Grande as Glinda, marks a pivotal moment where her character grapples with a major decision.
Initially, the editor Myron Kerstein placed this song later in the film, following a discussion Glinda had with Madame Morrible. However, a crucial decision was made to move "The Girl in the Bubble" to an earlier point, specifically after "The March of the Witch Hunters."
This alteration profoundly impacted the narrative flow and Glinda's character development, allowing her realization and commitment to help Elphaba to feel more immediate and impactful for the audience.
