"Wicked: For Good" Smashes 2025 Presale Records Amid Mixed Reviews
Big news for Broadway fans and moviegoers alike: Wicked: For Good has officially broken the 2025 record for the best first-day presales on Fandango. That’s right—people are flocking online, eager to see how the story of Elphaba and Glinda wraps up after last year’s first installment. The excitement around this finale is palpable, and fans are clearly ready for another deep dive into the magical world of Oz.
The movie, which is the second part of the adaptation of the beloved Broadway musical, brings back Cynthia Erivo as the fierce, green-skinned Elphaba and Ariana Grande as the ever-charming Glinda. The first film introduced us to their dynamic, full of rivalry, friendship, and the unforgettable magic of Oz. Now, in Wicked: For Good , the stakes are even higher. The Wizard has transformed into a full-on authoritarian ruler, tightening his grip on the city and turning animals and citizens alike into oppressed subjects. Elphaba steps up in defiance, freeing winged monkeys, protecting the innocent, and essentially becoming a symbol of the “wicked” the world needs so the rest can appear “good.”

On the personal front, the character arcs are intense. Glinda faces rejection and disillusionment, while Elphaba navigates the moral gray area of becoming a public symbol of evil to protect the people she loves. Even supporting characters like Prince Fiyero and Elphaba’s sister Nessarose are caught in complex emotional and political webs, adding layers to an already dense story.
Despite the mixed critical reception, the buzz around Wicked: For Good cannot be denied. Fans of the musical are clearly eager to witness the grand conclusion, relive iconic songs like Defying Gravity and Popular , and experience the final chapters of Elphaba and Glinda’s journey. Love it or hate it, this cinematic adaptation has firmly cemented its place in 2025’s cultural conversation—and it’s showing no signs of slowing down.
Whether you’re a die-hard Oz enthusiast or just curious about how the magical world ends, Wicked: For Good is officially an event you won’t want to miss. The presales record says it all: people are ready, tickets are flying, and the Emerald City awaits.
