The new series arrives more than six years after the original show ended its eight-season run. Even though the final season received some criticism, the drama remains highly rated, currently holding an 89% average score on Rotten Tomatoes.

Though Rexy wasn’t in The Lost World or Jurassic Park 3, the famous T-Rex returned in the Jurassic World trilogy and appeared in the animated series Camp Cretaceous and Chaos Theory.

The song’s title comes from the famous line “There’s no place like home” from The Wizard of Oz. It features Elphaba singing on the Yellow Brick Road after finding animals fleeing Oz. Surrounded by the creatures she’s vowed to protect—including a heartwarming reunion with Dulcibear—the green witch performs a new song from Wicked: For Good, explaining her reasons for trying to save Oz.

First Reaction – Wicked For Good is a well-made conclusion to the story.
