In film’s second act, ‘Wicked’ goes beyond Broadway musical But with “Wicked: For Good” out in theaters around the world this week, its stars and filmmakers say the decision has freed them up to expand the “Wizard of Oz” prequel far beyond the Broadway musical on which it is based.

You see the before and after moments,” Grande said at a recent press conference. But in the second film, we see “beneath the bubbly, shiny, perfect exterior” …
