Wicked, based on the hit Broadway musical, tells the untold story of the witches of Oz. Cynthia Erivo stars as Elphaba, a misunderstood young woman who has yet to discover her true power, and Ariana Grande is Glinda, a popular young woman who has yet to discover her true heart.
The two meet at Shiz University and forge an unlikely friendship – before their lives take different paths following an encounter with The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Their extraordinary adventures will ultimately see them fulfill their destinies as the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good.
