It’s time for the third and final instalment of our Wicked: For Good takeover of The West End Frame Show!

In this episode, Andrew Tomlins and Lisa Martland rave about Cynthia Erivo’s sensational performance of “No Good Deed.” They also talk about the ‘fight’ scene, the reveal of the mysterious figure on the horse and the added context surrounding Elphaba’s relationship with Chistery and the flying monkeys.

The conversation continues as Andrew and Lisa unpack the film’s final section, including Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande’s emotional rendition of “For Good” and the power behind the characters’ highly emotional final moment together. They also explore the meaning and emotional impact of the movie’s closing shot.

Finally, Andrew and Lisa reflect on their overall thoughts of Wicked: For Good, and why it will be forever part of movie musical history.

Having spent many years at The Stage – including five years as Deputy Editor – Lisa Martland is a theatre journalist who has worked for theatrical publications such as Musical Stages, Musicals Magazine, Stage Faves and My Theatre Mates. She is the Founding Editor of www.MusicalTheatreReview.com.
