At this pivotal moment, Elphaba decides to challenge Madame Morpple and the Wizard, after discovering their quest to control her magical powers and oppress the creatures of Oz. The conflict deepens when she finds herself directly confronted by her former friend, Glinda, marking the major shift in their relationship and leading to what we know from The Wizard of Oz, where Elphaba becomes the Wicked Witch of the West, while Glinda embarks on the path of good.</p><h3 style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Songs taken from the play and others completely new </h3><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:960/1200;" src="https://cdn.sbisiali.com/news/images/e3288236-1931-4556-a8d5-85bed81c1715.jpeg" ></figure><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Despite the immense popularity of Defying Gravity, the film will also feature a selection of songs from the second part of the musical, such as "No Good Deed" and "As Long as You're Mine," along with the highly anticipated duet between the two leads, "For Good."
