Wicked Part I (2024)

This enchanting musical fantasy serves as the origin story to the events of The Wizard of Oz, exploring the unlikely friendship between Elphaba, the misunderstood green-skinned girl destined to become the Wicked Witch of the West, and Glinda, the bubbly, ambitious girl who becomes the Good Witch. As students at Shiz University, their clashing personalities lead to a rocky start, but shared experiences and trials form a bond between them. However, political corruption in the land of Oz and Elphaba’s growing awareness of the oppression faced by magical creatures drive a wedge between the two friends. The first installment of Wicked sets the stage for Elphaba’s transformation into a villain in the public eye, while offering a deeper, more empathetic look at her character.
