Moviegoers are getting set to return to Oz with the highly anticipated release of “Wicked: For Good,” which revisits the complex relationship between Ariana Grande’s Glinda and Cynthia Erivo’s Elphaba first chronicled in last year’s blockbuster “Wicked.”

“I think both Glinda and Elphaba are both experiencing this extreme loneliness and they appear very different,” Grande told TODAY’s Sheinelle Jones in an interview alongside Erivo that aired Nov. 12. “Elphaba is literally isolated.
