The Depraved: For Good launch date is simply 5 months away now, and I preserve getting extra excited to see the second act of the beloved musical realized on the massive display. (It’s severely going to be robust for one more one of many 2025 film releases to high the sensation of seeing this!) However then director Jon M. Chu referred to as out two songs to look ahead to from Cynthia Erivo, and now I can barely comprise my pleasure over the upcoming movie.
In the case of the Depraved musical, it’s true that the most important hits are already behind us now that we’ve seen the primary film. We’ll by no means get to see “Standard” or “Defying Gravity” be carried out for the primary time by Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo once more. Nonetheless, Chu is getting me hyped as he name-dropped two songs from For Good whereas chatting with Self-importance Truthful:
‘No Good Deed’ is only a fucking banger. I don’t even know methods to use secure phrases for that. Cynthia on that factor is simply ridiculous. And ‘As Lengthy as You’re Mine’—it’s simply attractive.
As somebody who grew up memorizing each word of the unique Broadway soundtrack for Depraved, there are such a lot of songs I like, however man, is he proper about “No Good Deed” being a banger. It’s one of many songs on the album that you simply don’t essentially admire from the get-go, however when you fall in love with it, it’s not possible to not take heed to it again and again.
With out giving an excessive amount of away, it’s sung by Elphaba throughout a match of rage, and she or he spends the track weighing goodness versus wickedness. The entire monitor begins along with her belting out a word that I really want to listen to Erivo’s model of.
The opposite track Chu referred to as out was “As Lengthy As You’re Mine.” It’s fairly a darkish and spicy love track between Elphaba and Fiyero that sort of foils Glinda and Fiyero changing into infatuated with one another within the first act via the showstopping “Dancing By way of Life” quantity.
Once we left the characters on the finish of the primary Depraved film, Elphaba had chosen a lifetime of insurrection as a witch, whereas Glinda discovered a method in with Oz. We all know that Glinda and Fiyero will get married early in For Good, however I’m so excited to see this love triangle proceed to play out with the brand new film. Take a look at the Depraved: For Good trailer beneath:
The trailer debuted in theaters for a particular re-release of the primary Depraved earlier than dropping on-line as effectively. It options among the “No Good Deed” early on when Elphaba’s singing spells!
The second act of the Depraved manufacturing has fewer songs, eight versus the primary act’s eleven. Nonetheless, we all know authentic composer Stephen Schwartz has written two extra to pack the film with extra music.
Plus, Chu stated they’re “crucial on this film to assist inform the story.” Oh, and that is all with out mentioning the track the film is known as after, “For Good”. I cry each time I take heed to it, and I will bawl when Cynthia and Ariana carry out it. Yeah, I’m counting down the times till this film comes out on November 21.
