When Wicked arrived last year, it proved pink and green was box-office gold. In Wicked: For Good, Elphaba and Glinda return to face their destinies and make major decisions, as their world slides towards darkness, and a certain Kansan – and her little dog, too – crashes into town. The new issue of Empire takes a world-exclusive trip down the yellow brick road, speaking to Jon M. Chu, Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande and more on the spellbinding second chapter of Wicked. It’s a massive deep dive that hits all the right notes, packed with exclusive images from the much-anticipated follow-up. This month’s newsstand cover sees Elphaba and Glinda reunited, flanked by a flock of those flying monkeys.
