    “And now whatever way our stories end, I know you have rewritten mine by being my friend.”

    The global phenomenon that redefined Broadway for a new generation finally reaches its heart-racing, tear-jerking, utterly unforgettable conclusion. Following last year’s Wicked—which soared past expectations with 10 Academy Award® nominations and over $750 million in global box office—Wicked: For Good returns with the original creative powerhouse and all-star cast.

The screenplay, penned by Holzman and Fox, adapts the bestselling novel by Gregory Maguire, while music and lyrics come courtesy of the legendary Stephen Schwartz (Godspell, Pippin, The Prince of Egypt).
