The evolution is complete.

In the conclusion of this two-part series, we go behind the curtain for the final stages of "The Making of Glinda the Good." While Part 1 laid the foundation, Part 2 dives into the finishing touches that turn a performance into an icon.

From the final costume adjustments to the emotional weight of bringing such a beloved character to life, we explore what it truly takes to be "Popular." Whether you're a lifelong fan of Wicked or a creator interested in the craft of character building, join me as we wrap up this deep dive into the bubble-travelling blonde we all know and love.

Highlights of Part 2:

• The final aesthetic transformation and the power of the "Glinda" wardrobe.

• Key character motivations that define her journey in the second half of the story.

• Closing thoughts on the legacy of Glinda the Good.

**Check out Part One, which aired last week.

"Are people born Wicked, or do they have Wickedness thrust upon them?

In Part 1 of this deep dive, we explore the origins of 'wickedness' in the land of Oz. Inspired by my recent trip to the Emerald City, I'm breaking down the choices and circumstances of characters like Madame Morrible and the Wizard. We look at the blur of intent versus action, the fear that drives an ordinary man to do extraordinary harm, and the turning point where Glinda begins to step out of her bubble.

Join me as we peel back the layers of these iconic characters to find the truth hidden in the shades of grey."
