The trailer for"Wicked Part 1" was unveiled last night at the Super Bowl, instantly captivating the hearts of fans. Scheduled for theatrical release on November 27, 2024, this fantasy musical promises to revisit the already well-known world of The Wizard of Oz in an original way. Directed by Jon M. Chu, the film explores the early years ofElphaba, played by Cynthia Erivo, before she became the notorious Wicked Witch of the West.
Rejected by all because of her emerald skin and exceptional powers, Elphaba goes against all prejudice to forge her own path. Her meeting with Galinda, played by the talented Ariana Grande, marks the beginning of a complex and moving friendship. The two women, with radically opposed personalities, find themselves embroiled in the corruption of the Wizard of Oz government and a love rivalry that will test their unique bond.
Cynthia Erivo, known for her Broadway performances and roles in films such as"Harriet", should bring remarkable emotional depth to Elphaba. Ariana Grande, meanwhile, lends her enchanting voice to Galinda, adding a touch of magic to a character already adored by audiences. The cast also includes Jonathan Bailey, whose performance is eagerly awaited.
"Wicked Part 1" is not just a musical. The film is also set to explore themes of friendship, acceptance and the fight against injustice. With songs that promise to be breathtaking and a story already known to be captivating, the film promises to be a must-see for fans of the Wizard of Oz universe and newcomers to this magical world alike.
"Wicked Part 1" is set to enchant audiences with the never-before-told story of the Witch of the West, in a production that is already shaping up to be a modern classic of the fantasy genre and musical comedy. Part 2 is scheduled for December 24, 2025.
