Universal Pictures raised eyebrows when it announced it was releasing the musical adaptation into two parts, something that's never been done before. Classic musicals like "My Fair Lady," "The Sound of Music" and "Fiddler on the Roof" had roughly three-hour running times but included intermissions.
Meanwhile, the first "Wicked," which depicted Act I, had a two-hour and 40-minute running time (roughly the length of the entire stage musical — including the intermission!) and "For Good," which covers Act II, is another two hours and 18 minutes, and is still more than twice as long as Act II on Broadway.
