How 1 Wicked: For Good Song Will Surpass “Astronomical Expectations” After Defying Gravity’s Mammoth Success Hyped By Star

While "Defying Gravity" set the world alight thanks to its use in the first movie's marketing, Bowen Yang says a key Wicked: For Goodtrack will do so even more. Stephen Schwartz and Winnie Holzman's classic Broadway adaptation of Gregory Maguire's Wizard of Oz prequel has been split into two parts for the movie adaptation, with the first following Glinda and Elphaba's early relationship at Shiz University before the latter became the Wicked Witch of the West. The first Wicked ended on "Defying Gravity", the climax of the musical's first act, in which Elphaba flies away and vows to fight The Wizard.
