The Importance of the Two-Part Split

This decision allowed for the inclusion of beloved songs and the full exploration of Elphaba and Glinda’s relationship without cutting crucial plot points or musical numbers like "As Long as You're Mine" or "For Good."
The two-part structure ensures that the narrative, which spans the girls' time at Shiz University to Elphaba’s transformation, is fully realized. Fans of the Broadway show will appreciate the commitment to the full story, a key factor in the film's early critical success and its massive box office performance. The streaming release of both parts, separated by a year, will allow fans to fully digest the first half before the epic conclusion arrives on their home screens.
