SEWICKLEY — As trick-or-treat costumes demonstrated, “Wicked” fans can’t wait for the sequel “Wicked: For Good.”

The Lindsay Theater has begun selling advance tickets for the new adventures of Elphaba and Glinda, with “Wicked: For Good” opening Nov. 20 and running at least through Dec. 4 at Sewickley’s independent movie house.

Interviewed Wednesday on Beaver County Radio (95.7 and 99.3), Josh Axelrod, the Lindsay’s director of communications, said “Wicked: For Good” is likely to get an extended run of screenings, given the popularity of the franchise.

In the new film, Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo), now demonized as The Wicked Witch of the West, lives in exile, hidden within the Ozian forest while continuing her fight for the freedom of Oz’s silenced Animals and desperately trying to expose the truth she knows about The Wizard (West Homestead’s Jeff Goldblum).Glinda, meanwhile, has become the glamorous symbol of Goodness for all of Oz, living at the palace in Emerald City and reveling in the perks of fame and popularity. Under the instruction of Madame Morrible (Oscar winner Michelle Yeoh), Glinda is deployed to serve as an effervescent comfort to Oz, reassuring the masses that all is well under the rule of The Wizard.

Also this November, the Lindsay is screening the Bruce Springsteen biopic, “Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere,” and the animated “Zootopia 2.”

 

And for its fifth year, The Lindsay will serve as the lone Three Rivers Film Festival venue northwest of Pittsburgh.

Three Rivers is Pittsburgh’s longest-running and largest annual film festival spotlighting independent cinema from around the world. Six engaging films spanning a variety of genres (and countries) will play one time only at The Lindsay between Nov. 13, and Sunday, Nov. 16. Tickets are now on sale for all individual Three Rivers screenings, as well as full festival and other passes, online exclusively via Film Pittsburgh.

All remaining tickets on the day of each screening will be available at The Lindsay’s box office. EBT/SNAP beneficiaries can watch Three Rivers films for free by presenting their cards at the box office up to 30 minutes before showtime.
