Starring the phenomenal Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande as Elphaba and Glinda, the star-studded cast includes Oscar winner Michelle Yeoh as Madame Morrible, Jonathan Bailey as Fiyero, and Jeff Goldblum as the Wizard. Ethan Slater will charm audiences as Boq.

Los Angeles talent Marissa Bode (No Roles Written, Little Shop of Horrors) joins the ensemble as Elphaba’s sister Nessarose, while SNL sensation Bowen Yang takes on the role of Shiz University classmate Pfannee. British actress Bronwyn James (The Dig) is set to captivate as student ShenShen.

Wicked, based on the enthralling novel Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West by Gregory Maguire, weaves the mesmerizing tale of two unlikely university friends in Oz, whose destinies lead them to become Glinda The Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.

The year 2023 marks the 20th anniversary of the groundbreaking Broadway production, while the West End show celebrates its 17th year, having enchanted 11 million spectators.

Anticipation builds as Universal Pictures plans to unveil the film’s second part in time for Christmas 2025. Wicked creators Winnie Holzman (book) and Stephen Schwartz (score) have joined forces once again to craft the mesmerizing screenplay.
