The song 'Thank Goodness' follows 'Defying Gravity' on the original soundtrack from the Broadway performances of the musical 'Wicked', in 2003. It's at the beginning of the second act. It's a way of announcing the surprise, short lived engagement of Glinda and Fiyero.
No one mourns the wicked reprise/thank goodness

When you audition for a musical, the directors generally have a set idea about how they want a song to sound, so they are less likely to choose you by singing a song from the musical that you are auditioning for. Defying gravity would be a better choice for you to sing than Tomorrow.

After Elphaba first discovers what the Wizard really is like and just after Dorothy arrives in Oz are when Glinda and Elphaba fight in "Wicked."Specifically, the conflicts come out in the song "Defying Gravity" and just before "No Good Deed." Their unlikely friendship does not end with the realization that Elphaba will not be persuaded to budge from her anti-Wizard stance and that Glinda is an accessory to capturing Elphaba at Nessarose's funeral. What says all is the albeit sarcastically expressed hope that each one is happy in "Defying Gravity" and that Elphaba turns the Grimmerie over to Glinda.
