"But just as Wicked: For Good introduces audiences to new corners of Oz, it also expands upon the worlds of the first film. Those real-life tulip fields are back, this time in monochromatic swaths of yellow flowers that the Munchkin people must harvest to build their famous brick road. "That color was one of the hardest things to get right," says Crowley, reflecting on the enormous amount of testing required to have the glazed paint shining just so in natural and artificial light."
"Cleverly, multiple sets from part one were repurposed for part two. The Wizard's green train car, for example, reemerged through the powers of postproduction as Glinda's pink locomotive. And Crowley combined existing elements from the library and Madame Morrible's quarters at Shiz University to construct the Governor's Mansion. "When you are building this many sets for two movies, you have to get creative.""
The production expands Oz by revisiting and enlarging familiar locations while introducing new corners. Real-life tulip fields return as monochromatic yellow swaths harvested by Munchkin people to build the brick road. Extensive testing was required to achieve the right glazed paint appearance in varied lighting. Multiple sets from the first film were repurposed, including a transformed train car and combined library and dorm elements to form a Governor's Mansion. The Emerald City is dramatically expanded with three distinct towers and a new whimsical architectural mélange. Glinda's wedding and Art Deco-inflected apartment underscore classic cinema influences throughout.
