Wicked - Official Trailer #1

After two decades as one of the most popular and longest-running musicals on the stage, 'Wicked' finally hits the big screen this holiday season. If we were from Boston, we’d say this was a “wicked” 'Wicked' trailer!
This all-new musical fantasy adventure, based on the bestselling novel by Gregory Maguire and the hugely successful stage musical, hits theaters November 27!
'Wicked,' which tells the untold story of the witches of Oz, stars Emmy, Grammy, and Tony winner Cynthia Erivo (Harriet, Broadway’s The Color Purple) as Elphaba, and Grammy-winning recording artist Ariana Grande as Glinda.
The film also stars Oscar winner Michelle Yeoh as Shiz University’s regal headmistress Madame Morrible; Jonathan Bailey (Bridgerton, Fellow Travelers) as Fiyero, a roguish and carefree prince; Tony nominee Ethan Slater (Broadway’s Spongebob Squarepants, Fosse/Verdon) as Boq, an altruistic Munchkin student; Marissa Bode in her feature-film debut as Nessarose, Elphaba’s favored sister; and the iconic Jeff Goldblum as the legendary Wizard of Oz.
The cast of characters includes Pfannee and ShenShen, two conniving compatriots of Glinda, played by Emmy nominee Bowen Yang (Saturday Night Live) and Bronwyn James (Harlots), and a new character created for the film, Miss Coddle, played by Tony nominee Keala Settle (The Greatest Showman).
Jon M. Chu (Crazy Rich Asians, In the Heights) directs the first chapter of the two-part story, with 'Wicked Part Two' scheduled to arrive in theaters on November 26, 2025.
Marc Platt (La La Land, The Little Mermaid) and David Stone (Kimberly Akimbo, Next to Normal) produce, with David Nicksay, Stephen Schwartz, and Jared LeBoff as executive producers. The film is adapted for the screen by Winnie Holzman and Grammy and Oscar-winning composer and lyricist Stephen Schwartz. Universal Stage Productions, Marc Platt, the Araca Group, Jon B. Platt, and David Stone produce the Broadway stage musical.
VFX companies contributing to the film include Clear Angle Studios, Framestore, Gentle Giant Studios, ILM, OPIS, and The Third Floor, Inc.
