THRILLIFYING NEWS: The wait is almost over for the highly anticipated film adaptation of the Award winning smash hit WICKED. Under the direction of Jon M. Chu and produced by Universal Pictures, it has just been revealed that Broadway veterans….
Tony winner and Oscar nominee Cynthia Erivo (The Color Purple)
and
Grammy Award winner Ariana Grande (13)
… have both been tapped to play opposite each other as the best friends that grow up to be the famous WITCHES OF OZ themselves.
Erivo will play the smart, fiery, misunderstood, and not so-WICKED WITCH OF THE WEST herself “Elphaba”
and
Grande (who is a lifelong super # 1 WICKED fan since DAY 1 & has sung the music all throughout her career) will take on the role of the beautiful, blonde, and POPULAR Good Witch herself “Glinda”.
Both performers announced taking part in the film via their Instagram accounts sharing their excitement.
Filming is expecting to begin Summer 2022.
