Viewers are so excited to finally see the long awaited debut of Wicked on the big screen!
Wicked is a nationally renowned musical by Winnie Holzman with music and lyrics by the amazing Stephen Schwartz.
With three Tony Awards and one Grammy, Wicked is globally recognized for its groundbreaking music, intricate set designs, and fantastic storyline!
People are elated at Director Jon M. Chu’s casting of singing legends Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo to portray the iconic musical theater duo, Glinda and Elphaba.
Wicked is inspired by L. Frank Baum’s 1900 novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and its 1939 film adaptation. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is centered around the young protagonist Dorothy Gale and her journey through Oz to defeat the Wicked Witch of the West.
With a spine-chilling twist on the original story, Wicked is the reimagined tale of the famous green-skinned Elphaba, the eventual Wicked Witch of the West, and her misunderstood rise through Ozian society.
Throughout Elphaba’s journey to meet the Wonderful Wizard of Oz, she is faced with many challenges that test her. Watch to see how friendships, power, difficult choices and even love come into play.
The musical provides a never before seen perspective of Glinda the Good Witch and Elphaba’s complex relationship and how chaos ensues throughout Oz.
The film The Wizard of Oz makes it easy to despise the cruel Wicked Witch of the West, the obvious antagonist, but many are unaware of the full story. What really happened before Dorothy dropped in.
There are indeed two sides to every story.
