Wicked Post-Credits Scene: Should We Stick Around?

glamour.com:

may have only just been released, but we all are already looking forward to in 2025. But is there a Wicked post-credits scene to give us a of what's to come?It was certainly on our minds in the theater.

After the credits rolled, we couldn't help but wonder if we'd be getting one final tidbit to help us in the long wait for the next film.So if you're grappling with the dilemma of whether to stay put in the cinema after the movie ends, here's what to know about a potential post-credits scene.The short answer is no, there's no post-credits scene that you need to hang around in the cinema for.

So if you've got places to be, then rest assured that after “to be continued” appears on the screen, you're sadly not getting any more Oz goodness beyond the remainder of the film's incredible music score.Given that Wicked part one ends with Cynthia Erivo's stellar performance of the musical's best known song "Defying Gravity," it makes sense that there's no Wicked post-credits scene because truly, how do you follow up such a major performance?In fact, according to the film's composer Stephen Schwartz, that's a big part of the reason behind splitting the adaptation into two parts.Speaking to in 2022, the composer said: “We found it very difficult to get past 'Defying Gravity' without a break.

That song is written specifically to bring a curtain down, and whatever scene followed it without a break just seemed hugely anti-climactic.”Part One also rounds off with Ozians looking at Elphaba as she leaves the Emerald City, so in that sense it serves a similar purpose to what an end credits scene would do.
