As the returning production designer from the first film, Nathan Crowley had a lot of new areas to explore in Wicked: For Good. From the seemingly floating castle Kiamo Ko to Elphaba’s forest hideaway, and even new locations within The Emerald City like Glinda’s apartment, Crowley’s work in the second film focuses more on expanding the world of Oz past Shiz University.
“The story takes off, and we go on these incredible epic journeys,” says Crowley. “We come back some years later, the Wizard’s building yellow brick roads and oppressing the landscape, so where has Elphaba gone?”
One of the first locations Crowley had to think of, story-wise, was where Elphaba would be hiding out. “It started with having this dense canopy that she just flies into, and then we intertwine all the tree trunks and branches and it creates a nest,” says Crowley.
