\n\tThe music of Wicked <\/em>as we know it has been changed for good, with Jon M. Chu and Stephen Schwartz adding two brand new numbers to the score for the live-action films, snippets of which were shared Thursday (Nov. 6).<\/p>\n

\n\tPerformed by leading ladies Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, the ballads are named \u201cNo Place Like Home\u201d \u2014 a nod to the musical\u2019s source material, The Wizard of Oz <\/em>\u2014 and \u201cThe Girl in the Bubble.\u201d In a 30-second preview of the first, Elphaba reflects on happier times with her friends at Shiz before being banished from Oz and sings, \u201cWhy do I love this place that\u2019s never loved me?\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the second, we see Glinda looking over her riches and fame and realizing that she yearns for something more. \u201cIsn\u2019t it high time for her bubble to pop?\u201d she sings gently.<\/p>\n

\n\tBoth songs were written for the Wicked <\/em>films by Schwartz, who composed the music for the Broadway musical on which the screen adaptation was based. Last year, he told The Messenger<\/em><\/a>, \u201cThe storytelling required it, and therefore they were created.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe snippets come just a few weeks ahead of the Nov. 21 premiere of Wicked: For Good<\/em>, which will close out the two-part saga that first kicked off in November last year. The first Wicked <\/em>film broke box-office records<\/a> and reached No. 2 on the Billboard 200<\/a> with its soundtrack, not to mention earned Academy Awards for best costume and production design.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn the lead-up to the finale\u2019s release worldwide, the main Wicked <\/em>cast has kicked off a promo cycle involving numerous international premieres. The run started in S\u00e3o Paulo \u2014 which Grande was forced to miss due to a \u201csafety issue\u201d with her flight \u2014 and will continue throughout the month with screenings in Paris, London and Singapore.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe film leads also got fans hyped for part two by performing a number of Wicked <\/em>tracks live for a concert special, which premiered Thursday (Nov. 6) on NBC and Peacock<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tWatch Erivo and Grande perform parts of \u201cNo Place Like Home\u201d and \u201cThe Girl in the Bubble\u201d Below.<\/p>\n
