Wicked: For Good – Tickets On Sale, New Preview Teases Old & New Songs
Tickets for Wicked: For Good are officially on sale. We also got a new preview which teases several songs, including the two new ones.
Article Summary
- Tickets for Wicked: For Good are now on sale, including early access screenings via Prime.
- A brand-new teaser preview showcases classic hits and two original songs debuting in the film.
- The new songs, No Place Like Home and The Girl In The Bubble, are highlighted in the trailer.
- Adding new music to the beloved musical raises fan expectations for the big-screen adaptation.
After teasing it for several days, tickets for Wicked: For Good are officially on sale. Tickers for the Prime's early access screenings are also on sale, but those are going to sell out sooner rather than later, so if you're on the fence, you might want to make a decision before the end of the week. On top of the giant pile of posters that were released over the last few days, we got a new teaser today. This one has new footage, and specifically, it has a lot of song teases. Shoutout to the YouTube comment section for breaking the entire thing down:
- 0:03 – No Good Deed
- 0:16 – Thank Goodness
- 0:20 – As Long As You're Mine
- 0:27 – The Girl In The Bubble
- 0:37 – For Good
- 0:51 – No Place Like Home
No Place Like Home and The Girl In The Bubble are the two new songs being added to Wicked: For Good, so expect fans to hone in on those specifically. Adding new songs to beloved musicals when you adapt them for the big screen is very hit or miss, and Broadway fans are notoriously hard to please, so this could backfire on the production very easily. It is far too early to tell now, based on the small snippets we've heard.

Wicked: For Good – Summary, Cast List, Release
And now, whatever way our stories end, I know you have rewritten mine by being my friend …
Last year's global cinematic cultural sensation, which became the most successful Broadway film adaptation of all time, now reaches its epic, electrifying, emotional conclusion in Wicked: For Good.
Directed once again by award-winning director Jon M. Chu and starring the spectacular returning cast, led by Academy Award® nominated superstars Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, the final chapter of the untold story of the witches of Oz begins with Elphaba and Glinda estranged and living with the consequences of their choices.
Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo), now demonized as The Wicked Witch of the West, lives in exile, hidden within the Ozian forest while continuing her fight for the freedom of Oz's silenced Animals and desperately trying to expose the truth she knows about The Wizard (Jeff Goldblum).
Glinda, meanwhile, has become the glamorous symbol of Goodness for all of Oz, living at the palace in Emerald City and reveling in the perks of fame and popularity. Under the instruction of Madame Morrible (Oscar® winner Michelle Yeoh), Glinda is deployed to serve as an effervescent comfort to Oz, reassuring the masses that all is well under the rule of The Wizard.
As Glinda's stardom expands and she prepares to marry Prince Fiyero (Olivier award winner and Emmy and SAG nominee Jonathan Bailey) in a spectacular Ozian wedding, she is haunted by her separation from Elphaba. She attempts to broker a conciliation between Elphaba and The Wizard, but those efforts will fail, driving Elphaba and Glinda only further apart. The aftershocks will transform Boq (Tony nominee Ethan Slater) and Fiyero forever, and threaten the safety of Elphaba's sister, Nessarose (Marissa Bode), when a girl from Kansas comes crashing into all their lives.
As an angry mob rises against the Wicked Witch, Glinda and Elphaba will need to come together one final time. With their singular friendship now the fulcrum of their futures, they will need to truly see each other, with honesty and empathy, if they are to change themselves, and all of Oz, for good.
Wicked: For Good also stars Emmy nominee Bowen Yang and Bronwyn James as Glinda's fawning assistants, Pfannee and ShenShen and BAFTA and Grammy nominee Sharon D. Clarke (Caroline, or Change) as the voice of Elphaba's childhood nanny, Dulcibear.
The film is produced by returning Tony and Emmy-winning powerhouse Marc Platt, p.g.a., and by multiple Tony winner David Stone. The executive producers are Stephen Schwartz, David Nicksay, Jared LeBoff, Winnie Holzman and Dana Fox. The first film, Wicked, released in November 2024, earned 10 Academy Award® nominations, including Best Picture, and won the Oscars® for Costume Design and Production Design. To date, the film has grossed $750 million worldwide.
Wicked: For Good is based on the generation-defining musical stage play with music and lyrics by legendary Grammy and Oscar® winning composer and lyricist Stephen Schwartz and book by Winnie Holzman, from the bestselling novel by Gregory Maguire. The screenplay is by Winnie Holzman and Winnie Holzman & Dana Fox. The film score is by John Powell & Stephen Schwartz, with music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz. Wicked: For Good will be released in theaters on November 21, 2025.
