Welcome To Oz In First Wicked: Part One Teaser Trailer

Last night Kanas City Chiefs won the 2024 Superbowl. Superbowl means film studios fight for the adverts and Universal unveiled the first teaser trailer for Wicked: Part One...Welcome to Oz!

It’s been a long time coming and Jon M.Chu‘s version of one of the most beloved and enduring musicals on the stage. It’s taken two decades to get there and fans are now teased in what we can expect.

Cynthia Erivo stars as Elphaba Thropp, the woman who has green skin and would become the wicked witch of the west. Of course the iconic witch that would appear in The Wizard Of Oz, with Ariana Grande as Glinda. Both form a friendship at university, soon their paths would go separate ways.

This will be the teaser for Part one, with Part two coming in 2025…

Wicked, the untold story of the witches of Oz, stars Emmy, Grammy and Tony winning powerhouse Cynthia Erivo (Harriet, Broadway’s The Color Purple) as Elphaba, a young woman, misunderstood because of her unusual green skin, who has yet to discover her true power, and Grammy-winning, multi-platinum recording artist and global superstar Ariana Grande as Glinda, a popular young woman, gilded by privilege and ambition, who has yet to discover her true heart.

The two meet as students at Shiz University in the fantastical Land of Oz and forge an unlikely but profound friendship. Following an encounter with The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, their friendship reaches a crossroads and their lives take very different paths. Glinda’s unflinching desire for popularity sees her seduced by power, while Elphaba’s determination to remain true to herself, and to those around her, will have unexpected and shocking consequences on her future. Their extraordinary adventures in Oz will ultimately see them fulfill their destinies as Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.

The rest of the cast for Wicked includes Michelle Yeoh, Jeff Goldblum, Jonathan Bailey, Ethan Slater, Marissa Bode, Bowen Yang, Bronwyn James and Keala Settle.

Wicked: Part One will be i UK and Irish cinemas from 28th November.
