"Wicked: For Good" — Read The Screenplay By Winnie Holzman & Dana Fox
When History Lies, Truth Becomes Rebellion.
"Wicked: For Good" concludes the untold story of Oz by shifting the focus from magic to power. As Elphaba is hunted and mythologized as a monster, Glinda ascends as the public face of goodness -- adored, protected, and increasingly complicit. Between them lies a fractured friendship and a society eager to believe the story it’s told.
More political thriller than fairy tale, the screenplay exposes how propaganda shapes heroes, how fear manufactures villains, and how morality becomes dangerous when it refuses to perform. This is Oz as cautionary tale -- dazzling on the surface, ruthless underneath.

"Wicked: For Good" offers a compelling case study in using genre to interrogate real-world systems of power. Through parallel character arcs and politically charged musical storytelling, the screenplay demonstrates how fantasy can be weaponized to explore propaganda, complicity, and ethical compromise.
For writers, it’s a study in balancing spectacle with substance -- proving that even the most iconic stories can be retooled to ask difficult questions about truth, history, and who gets to decide what “good” really means.
