COLUMN: ‘Wicked’ defies gravity and expectations

(11/19/24 8:01pm)

“Wicked,” which premiered on Broadway in 2003, was a huge hit in the theater community. The music by Stephen Schwartz and the original cast’s performances were a prime example of what a great musical could be. This new film adaptation, releasing November 22, 2024, and directed by Jon M. Chu, is no different. From the brilliant sets to the performances of main characters Glinda and Elphaba, played by Ariana Granda and Cynthia Erivo respectively, it feels like you're watching the events unfold from Oz itself.
