"For Good" is a pivotal number from the acclaimed musical Wicked. It is performed as a duet between Elphaba (the Wicked Witch of the West) and Glinda (the Good Witch of the South). With music and lyrics by composer Stephen Schwartz, the song serves as a heartfelt farewell between the two characters.

Taking place near the musical's end, Elphaba entrusts Glinda with the Grimmerie, urging her to carry on her mission. Following their goodbye, Elphaba leaves and is presumed to be melted by Dorothy. However, this is later revealed to be a ruse intended to convince the citizens of Oz that she is gone and stop their pursuit. As the song ends, Fiyero—transformed into "The Scarecrow" by one of Elphaba's spells—finds Elphaba, and the two escape together.

"For Good" marks a pivotal moment in Wicked and is one of its most iconic songs, reprised in the show’s finale.

Wicked is a musical with music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz and a book by Winnie Holzman. It draws inspiration from Gregory Maguire's 1995 novel Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, a creative reimagining of L. Frank Baum's 1900 classic *The Wonderful Wizard of Oz* and its 1939 film adaptation. The musical unfolds from the perspectives of two witches, Elphaba and Galinda, exploring their friendship before and after Dorothy’s arrival in Oz. It delves into the complexities of their bond as Elphaba becomes the Wicked Witch of the West and Galinda transforms into Glinda the Good. Their relationship is marked by contrasting personalities, clashing ideals, a shared romantic interest, responses to the Wizard’s corrupt reign, and ultimately, Elphaba’s tragic downfall.

Produced by Universal Stage Productions, along with producers Marc Platt, Jon B. Platt, and David Stone, and helmed by director Joe Mantello with choreography by Wayne Cilento, *Wicked* opened on Broadway at the Gershwin Theatre in October 2003 following tryouts at San Francisco's Curran Theatre earlier that year. Its original cast featured Idina Menzel as Elphaba, Kristin Chenoweth as Glinda, Norbert Leo Butz as Fiyero, and Joel Grey as the Wizard.
