First sneak preview the film version of WICKED THE MUSICAL with Cynthia Ervio giving an Award-Worthy perfornance as the Wicked Witch

 

 

To be absolutely honest (!) and to risk the wrath of all the readers around the  Globe who are avid sports fans Queerguru has a confession to make. The only reason we were watching the Super Bowl on TV yesterday was for all the new expensive adverts screened during the game.  It was one in particular .

Universal Pictures was giving us the first sneak preview of their new highly anticipated movie version of the. Tony Award-winning WICKED  THE  MUSICAL .  It stars Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba Thropp, a young woman born with green skin, and Ariana Grande as Glinda Upland, a popular young woman who later becomes Glinda the Good,  Set in the Land of Oz before and continues after Dorothy Gale‘s arrival from Kansas, it revolves around Elphaba, who explores the path that leads her to become the Wicked Witch of the West, all while forming an unlikely friendship and later rivalry with Glinda who would go on to become Glinda the Good. 

The movie also stars.  Michelle Yeoh Jeff Goldblum, Jonathan Bailey and  Bowen Yang 

 

Wicked is scheduled for release on November 27, 2024 (& we think get Ms Ervio another Academy Nomination) 
and is so worth the wait . The sequel, Wicked: Part Two, will be released a year later.
