2024 blockbuster film adaptation of the hit Broadway and West End musical which is a prequel to The Wizard of Oz.
It starred Ariana Grande as Galinda (who becomes Glinda the Good) and Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba (who becomes the Wicked Witch of the West), two witches who meet at Shiz University where they are thrown together, despite their initial dislike of each other. The film follows Elphaba's quest to erase discrimination against their animal teachers with the ultimate goal of gaining an audience with The Wizard of Oz. Jonathan Bailey also starred as Fiyero Tigelaar, a prince from Winkie Country who meets Elphaba and Galinda at school.
Adam James played Popsicle, Galinda's father.
The film was a massive box office success. The sequel, entitled Wicked: For Good, is released in 2025.
