You've been warned! If you are a person with a disposable income and a passion for musical theater, it's highly likely that you either just saw or about to see Wicked: For Good this weekend. Universal / Everett Collection If you've seen it already - or if you're a huge fan of the musical - you already know that Wicked: For Good ends with Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo) and Fiyero (Jonathan Bailey) fleeing Oz entirely after the former fakes her death (a faux-melting, if you will). Giles Keyte / Universal / Everett Collection The two characters go to an unnamed desert land that is referenced in the turn-of-the-20th-century book that started all of this Oz-mania, Frank L. Baum's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, as the "Deadly Desert." Sounds scary! Giles Keyte / Universal / Everett Collection And as it turns out, Wicked: For Good director Jon M. Chu and his team of Oz-heads originally had darker designs for this part of the film's ending - or, at least, so he revealed in a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly. Giles Keyte / Universal / Everett Collection In the chat, Jon revealed that he and his team considered concluding the film with "versions of that desert that were a lot darker and scarier - like walking into your fears." Why didn't they, then? Giles Keyte / Universal / Everett Collection Well, Jon decided that the sandy locale itself "is not dead space, it's possibility. No one has explored that horizon because everyone's too scared." Giles Keyte / Universal / Everett Collection "Let's put sparkles in that sand!" he added regarding the film's ultimate ending. Universal / Everett Collection So, here's the question: Do you agree with Jon, or do you think Wicked: For Good needed a little bit more darkness to its grand finale? Let us know in the comments!
