  • Story Text: The full trailer for the film adaptation of the musical "Wicked" was released on Wednesday (May 15) with Cynthia Erivo starring opposite Ariana Grande as witches in the magical land of Oz.
    "Wicked" is based on Stephen Schwartz's musical by the same name, which itself adapts a 1995 book by Gregory Maguire, and tells the story of a misunderstood, green-skinned young woman Elphaba (Erivo) who goes on to become the Wicked Witch of the West from the classic children's novel "The Wizard of Oz."
    Pop star Ariana Grande plays the privileged and popular Glinda who Elphaba befriends at Shiz University in the land of Oz.
    Erivo and Grande were joined earlier in May on the Met Gala carpet in New York by co-stars Michelle Yeoh, who plays Shiz University’s headmistress Madame Morrible, and Jeff Goldblum, who portrays the legendary Wizard of Oz.
    Directed by Jon M. Chu, known for "Crazy Rich Asians," the upcoming film is the first instalment in a two-part series.
    "Wicked" is scheduled for release in cinemas from November 27, 2024.
