So everyone talks about what deleted scene they'd like to see in the bonus features of For Good (the digital release comes out on the 30th), and to me the most important one is the "Sentimental Man" reprise. I didn't mind the writers moving it to an entirely new scene, but then it was cut!!! I believe they did film it though, because of some BTS footage I saw, so they better include it now, or I'll be very angry!!! And yes, it's much more important than Fiyero and Boq going shirtless!!!

Edit: Just wanted to add the relevant BTS image, and I'm glad they understood people want to see it!

The Wizard was touched because he understood Elphaba had truly loved him, unlike the other people of Oz, who just go with the flow and stick to what's popular. These few lines did appear in the stage play, but most of the others were unfortunately cut and replaced with new dialogue (or should I say, trialogue?). For example, the Wizard telling Elphaba he's lonely and that she must be lonely, too, or him offering to take care of her. You can watch the scene with the original cast here. I wish they hadn't changed it so much, but this is what we have...

IIRC, this wasn't in the final film, why??? It's the only part in the script (except for the "despite herself, disarmed" comment, which also wasn't shown) that indicates the Wizard still has some ability to penetrate Elphaba's defenses and her still having some affection to him. Yes, I get that he disappointed and hurt her, but it's really hard to let go of a dream she's had since childhood...

So Amazon had For Good for pre-order a few days ago (I added the 2-films collection to my wishlist), but all formats and variations were taken down!!! You can see it if you search on Google and try to click the link(s). Oh well, I hope they'll be back up soon, at least we can now read the script: https://deadline.com/2025/12/wicked-for-good-script-read-the-screenplay-1236649924/.
