What is Wicked about?
Based on Gregory Maguire's 1995 novel Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, the Broadway musical and its two-part film adaptation imagines a Wizard of Oz prequel centered around the green-skinned Elphaba (Erivo), the eventual Wicked Witch of the West. Before that though, she's a talented student at Shiz University, where she rooms with the popular Glinda (Grande). Things start to go downhill once Elphaba travels to the Emerald City and meets the so-called Wizard (Jeff Goldblum), who may not be as "wonderful" as we once thought.
“I want people who saw it on the stage to experience it in a way they never have,” director Jon M. Chu, who is no stranger to adapting musicals after 2021's In the Heights, says in the official production notes. “We worked a long time to find the perfect cast. We knew we needed people who could sing and act and who were a little Ozian. There’s a little oddity, a bit of left-of-center to these storytellers. That’s why I liked getting all these misfits together to make a movie about misfits.”
