It’s time for one last trip down the Yellow Brick Road. Wicked: For Good—part two of Wicked, the Wizard of Oz prequel based on the long-running Broadway musical—sweeps into theaters Nov. 21, bringing the epic origin story of the Wicked Witch of the West, aka Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo), and Glinda, the Good Witch (Ariana Grande), to its dramatic conclusion.

THE MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN The Wizard of Oz, says Jeff Goldblum, "has some unmet, mysterious, unexamined void."

As the movie picks up some time after last year’s hit left off, Elphaba is a fugitive after running afoul of the Wizard (Jeff Goldblum) and exposing his nefarious plot to silence the talking animals of Oz. Glinda is working for the Wizard and grappling with guilt over abandoning her former BFF.

LONDON Grande (with Erivo on Nov. 10) says it's been "surreal" to see how much people love Wicked.
