The first reviews for the Wicked movie are in!

The social media review embargo for the film has lifted after members of the press have been invited to select screenings. While more in-depth and detailed reviews will be dropped closer to the movie's release, limited reactions are out now on social media platforms.

First reviews call the film a "masterpiece," with praise for stars Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande. Many reveal that the decision to split the film into two parts has been justified after seeing the first part, with each performer putting their signature spin on each character.

The Wicked film adaptation stars Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba and Ariana Grande as Glinda. Joining them is Jonathan Bailey as Fiyero, Ethan Slater as Boq, Michelle Yeoh as Madame Morrible, and Jeff Goldblum as the Wizard. Marissa Bode will portray Nessarose, Elphaba's younger sister. 

Part One of the film will be released on November 22, 2024, with the second part hitting theaters on November 26, 2025. Pre-save the official soundtrack here. Also, be sure to check out BroadwayWorld's comprehensive guide to the Wicked movie!
