To start, one of the biggest changes from the stage musical is that Wicked: For Good adds two original songs. First up is Elphaba's "No Place Like Home," which is clearly a direct nod to Dorothy's iconic line from The Wizard of Oz, when she clicks her ruby red heels together and hopes to go back to Kansas. Universal Pictures / Via youtube.com In an interview with the New York Times, composer Stephen Schwartz and writer Winnie Holzman discussed how the song allowed them to make it very clear to the audience that Elphaba never hated Oz, but she was hated in Oz for who she was. 2. The second new song is "The Girl in the Bubble," which Glinda sings before deciding to go find Elphaba, where they ultimately part ways after singing "For Good." In the early development of the stage musical back in 2003, Kristin Chenoweth repeatedly requested a number for Glinda in Act Two; however, composer Stephen Schwartz never provided one. This number finally gives Glinda a second-act song. Universal Pictures / Via youtube.com In an interview with the New York Times, Schwartz explained that "The Girl in the Bubble" also acts as an homage to Billie Burke's entrance as Glinda in The Wizard of Oz. 3. Just like the addition of Elphaba's childhood in Wicked: Part One, this film adds a flashback to Galinda's childhood. The scene features a young Galinda trying to perform magic at her birthday party, but failing to do so. However, at the same moment, a rainbow appears outside, which is obviously a reference to "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" from The Wizard of Oz. Universal Pictures / Via youtube.com 4. The film effectively splits "Thank Goodness" into two songs with "Every Day More Wicked" and then "Thank Goodness / I Couldn't Be Happier." With "Every Day More Wicked," there are now samples from previous songs, such as "The Wizard and I," "What Is This Feeling?" and "Popular," as the song is used to catch audiences up on what the characters have been up to since the first movie. Universal Pictures / Via youtube.com 5. Also, the movie cuts Madame Morrible's verse from "Thank Goodness." In the musical, she sings, "The day you were first summoned to an audience with Oz."

The movie adds scenes showing what Elphaba has been doing to disrupt The Wizard's plans, such as freeing the animals who have been forced to build the Yellow Brick Road. The stage show alludes to what Elphaba has been up to since leaving Glinda at the end of Act One, but the movie is able to show it. Universal Pictures / Via youtube.com 7. Wicked: For Good includes a new scene of Elphaba visiting Glinda right before her wedding to Fiyero, which doesn't happen in the stage version. The scene also features Elphaba's line, "We can't all come and go by bubble," which occurs during their physical fight in the stage musical. Universal Pictures / Via youtube.com 8. The movie actually shows Glinda and Fiyero's wedding ceremony, with Glinda walking down the aisle, before the event is interrupted by animals escaping from The Wizard's captivity, thanks to Elphaba. This also changes the setting for "I'm Not That Girl (Reprise)." Universal Pictures / Via youtube.com 9. Glinda is part of "Wonderful" in Wicked: For Good, but doesn't appear in the number on Broadway. Instead, it's just The Wizard and Elphaba. With the addition of Glinda, some lyrics have also been added for her, particularly a callback to "Defying Gravity," in which Glinda says, "Elphie, think of what we could do together." Universal Pictures / Via youtube.com 10. With the expanded "Wonderful" number for the movie adaptation, we also get a "Dancing Through Life" callback that doesn't exist in the stage show either. During "Wonderful," Glinda and Elphaba recreate their dance from the Ozdust Ballroom. Universal Pictures / Via youtube.com 11. Also in "Wonderful," there are lyric changes for The Wizard as well. In fact, the entire beginning of the song starts differently in the movie than it does in the stage musical. In Wicked: For Good, the song begins with The Wizard explaining his time working at a circus. Universal Pictures / Via youtube.com 12. In Wicked on stage, the Cowardly Lion is only seen in Act Two in the form of his tail, when Boq, who has now been turned into the Tin Man, tries to get him to tell everyone about what the Wicked Witch did to him during "March of the Witch Hunters." However, in the movie, the Cowardly Lion gets a very small speaking part where he explains his grudge against Elphaba during "No Place Like Home." Universal Pictures / Via youtube.com "Mar
