Michelle Yeoh promises new musical treats are on the way in Wicked: For Good
Michelle Yeoh has promised fans new musical treats are on the way in Wicked: For Good. The 63-year-old actress plays Madame Morrible in the sequel to the hit witch movie, and has now hinted it will feature new songs. She told People ahead of the arrival of the highly anticipated second installment of the Wicked film series: 'I think you're getting some new songs.' Michelle quickly added with a laugh: 'I didn't say that.' The Oscar-winning star, known for her work in both Hollywood and Chinese cinema, spoke while promoting two projects. Alongside Wicked: For Good, she is also lending her voice to the English-language version of the Chinese blockbuster Ne Zha II, in which she plays Lady Yin, the mother of the rebellious young demigod Ne Zha. The films' dual releases have kept the actress busy throughout 2025, with Wicked: For Good set to premiere on 21 November and Ne Zha II hitting theaters on 22 August. The new songs in Wicked: For Good were composed by Stephen Schwartz, who created the music and lyrics for the original Broadway show. He confirmed the additions to People at the 2025 Songwriters Hall of Fame induction ceremony, saying: 'I have permission to say there are two new songs in the movie because the storytelling demanded it. 'One of them happens to be for the character of Elphaba. The other one happens to be for the character of Glinda.' Michelle also reflected on her ongoing connection with the Wicked cast. She said: 'I was just at Hollywood Bowl (for) Cynthia,' she said, referring to Cynthia Erivo's performance as Jesus in Jesus Christ Superstar. Michelle added: 'I love her. She was so amazing.' Discussing Ne Zha II, Michelle said about her enthusiasm for the project: 'I had seen Ne Zha II in Chinese, and even at that time I thought, 'I hope they do an English version, because you want little kids to be able to see it and understand'. 'So when they did come to me and said, 'Would this interest you?' I jumped right in.' She also praised the film's faithful adaptation of Chinese mythology, noting the balance between traditional storytelling and contemporary accessibility. Michelle said: 'The storytelling is so amazing because they have kept intact the classic myth of how it was before, but added that contemporary way of storytelling. 'So that's the bridge for the generational gap. Like we say, it is timeless, but timely.'
