For Good,’ ‘Celebrity Traitors UK,’ and a Replacements album top EW’s Must List

In an age where even our pop culture is fractured depending on our various algorithms, it’s rare that we get a cultural touchstone that permeates like Wicked. For that reason alone, sequel For Good has me saying “Thank Goodness.” It’s just gravy that it’s actually a magical theatrical experience. —Patrick Gomez, Editor-in-Chief

Wicked: For Good

Did you really think this movie wouldn’t top our weekly list? Elphaba and Glinda’s epic story wraps up in the sequel to last year’s Wicked — and get ready for the waterworks in the movie’s namesake, friendship-defining musical number. But not before all of Oz tries to capture the Wicked Witch. And, of course, we get two new songs, and see who becomes Tin Man. The real treat, though, is Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, who really just need to be in every movie musical for the rest of time…for good. —Gerrad Hall, Editorial Director

The Celebrity Traitors UK

Stephen Fry, Alan Carr, Paloma Faith, and Charlotte Church are just a few of the stars around host Claudia Winkleman’s roundtable for the U.K.’s first celebrity edition of the reality favorite (on Peacock) — but you’ll also fall for former rugby player Joe Marler. —P.G.

The Replacements’ Let It Be

Why simply let it be when you can add more? The beloved 1984 album from Minneapolis’ legendary troublemakers gets the 4LP deluxe treatment, complete with alternate takes, a previously unreleased version of “Androgynous,” new liner notes, and an entire 28-song live set. —Dalton Ross, Editorial Director

Kokuho

Prolific Japanese director Lee Sang-il’s sumptuous and classical new epic traces the life of a kabuki star over six decades. A national phenomenon, Kokuho is on track to become Japan’s highest-grossing live-action feature ever. —Ryan Coleman, News Writer

Oedipus

Mark Strong and Lesley Manville headline this modern political take on the classic Sophocles tragedy, currently wrecking audiences at Studio 54 on Broadway. An onstage clock counts down ominously as the couple marches blissfully unaware toward their terrible fate. —D.R.
