After two decades as one of the most beloved and enduring musicals on the stage, Wicked makes its long-awaited journey to the big screen as a spectacular, generation-defining cinematic event this holiday season.

Wicked, the untold story of the witches of Oz, stars Emmy, Grammy and Tony winning powerhouse Cynthia Erivo (Harriet, Broadway’s The Color Purple) as Elphaba, a young woman, misunderstood because of her unusual green skin, who has yet to discover her true power, and Grammy-winning, multi-platinum recording artist and global superstar Ariana Grande as Glinda, a popular young woman, gilded by privilege and ambition, who has yet to discover her true heart.

The two meet as students at Shiz University in the fantastical Land of Oz and forge an unlikely but profound friendship. Following an encounter with The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, their friendship reaches a crossroads and their lives take very different paths. Glinda's unflinching desire for popularity sees her seduced by power, while Elphaba's determination to remain true to herself, and to those around her, will have unexpected and shocking consequences on her future. Their extraordinary adventures in Oz will ultimately see them fulfill their destinies as Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.

The film also stars Oscar® winner Michelle Yeoh as Shiz University’s regal headmistress Madame Morrible; Jonathan Bailey (Bridgerton, Fellow Travelers) as Fiyero, a roguish and carefree prince; Tony nominee Ethan Slater (Broadway’s Spongebob Squarepants, Fosse/Verdon) as Boq, an altruistic Munchkin student; Marissa Bode in her feature-film debut as Nessarose, Elphaba’s favored sister; and pop culture icon Jeff Goldblum as the legendary Wizard of Oz.

The cast of characters includes Pfannee and ShenShen, two conniving compatriots of Glinda played by Emmy nominee Bowen Yang (Saturday Night Live) and Bronwyn James (Harlots), and a new character created for the film, Miss Coddle, played by Tony nominee Keala Settle (The Greatest Showman).

Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Jon M. Chu (Crazy Rich Asians, In the Heights), Wicked is the first chapter of a two-part immersive, cultural celebration. Wicked Part Two is scheduled to arrive in theaters on November 26, 2025.

Wicked is produced by Marc Platt (La La Land, The Little Mermaid), whose films, television shows and stage productions have earned a combined 46 Oscar® nominations, 58 Emmy nominations and 36 Tony nominations, and by multiple Tony winner David Stone (Kimberly Akimbo, Next to Normal), with whom Platt produced the blockbuster Wicked stage musical. The executive producers are David Nicksay, Stephen Schwartz and Jared LeBoff.

Based on the bestselling novel by Gregory Maguire, Wicked is adapted for the screen by the stage production’s book writer Winnie Holzman and by legendary Grammy and Oscar® winning composer and lyricist Stephen Schwartz. The Broadway stage musical is produced by Universal Stage Productions, Marc Platt, the Araca Group, Jon B. Platt and David Stone.

Omg her delivery of "it's good to see me". Normally on stage it's the sense of "it's obvious", but I love that Ariana is giving the vibe of "duh, I'm popular" 😂

[AliceGoist]

She definitely did her homework. She wrapped all Glinda's into one.

[aestheticmelodies_]

“It’s good to see me isn’t it ! “ LOVEE HERR

[blueregard]

0:06 the way she popped the bubble at the word "POPular".

[BallroomXtra]

The amount of Chenowith-isms that I caught in this clip is sending my heart SCREAMING!!!

[Chas-OTE]

I am so hyped for this movie. It's been said a lot of times before but it just feels so nice to see a musical adaptation that just wants to remain a musical.

[music-lover-xoxo]

I love the way she said "it's good to see me isn't it".

[Kamechan]

I take back any and all doubts I had about Ariana as Glinda, she is flawless in this role. She’s funny, charming and embodies so much of the character, both paying tribute to Kristen Chenoweth’s portrayal but also making the role her own, she’s perfect.

[lunemaline]

I lover her delivery. She truly embodies glinda. Can’t wait!

[if]

I love that she's doing some of the iconic stage stuff like that hair toss "or someone"

[honeyluv_]

The “that was it” so k chenoweth coded, i LOVE IT

[shadysorkin]

She really did her research for this character damn. Very good interpretation.

[diligantlydistracted]

Knowing how much Kristen loves Ariana Grande, I’m sure she’s ecstatic about this all

[tokyobeauty]

I’m so happy to see Ariana thriving like this! 🥹🩷

[easthillskendall]

No one’s talking about the “I need to lie down” and dramatically flopping onto the bed that’s such a mood and I’m stealing that

[pedroneto]

OMG
I love her delivery i Every line, she's doing so so good

[ArianaGramsci]

Ari's performance is AMAZING and I love the choice of making her dress pink for No One Mourns the Wicked! You're making me really confident in this movie!

[lonellfletcher]

I was concerned about how Glinda’s comedy would translate on screen. It’s perfect!!!! Still over the top and honors the stage version without feeling out of place in cinematic form. Ari and Wicked are gonna be sensational!!!!

[marcopratis]

Do we need to talk about when she say to the wand "seriously!", It's ICONIC 😂❤

[solrubyx]

her delivery of "it's good to see me" is so perfect hahhaha she's funny
