Wicked has always been a story about perspective — who gets remembered, who gets misunderstood, and how friendship can reshape the meaning of “good” and “wicked” forever. In this final episode of Wicked: The Official Podcast, we arrive at the end of our journey through Oz, reflecting on how this story has evolved across generations and why it still holds us.

Director Jon M. Chu and producer Marc Platt look back on the responsibility of honoring L. Frank Baum’s original world, Gregory Maguire’s reimagining, and the Broadway phenomenon that followed, all while making room for something new. 

Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande reflect on saying goodbye to Elphaba and Glinda, and on the friendship at the heart of the story that transformed both characters and performers alike. Joined by cast and creatives across Oz, they share memories of the moments, choices, and collaborations that changed them… for good.

As our time in Oz comes to a close, the story reminds us how perspective can change everything.
