Wicked hit theaters in November, bringing to life the first half of the beloved Broadway play of the same name, which is itself based on a 1995 novel by Gregory Maguire. Serving as a prequel to The Wizard of Oz (1939), the film, which is directed by Jon M. Chu, chronicles the origins of Glinda (Ariana Grande) and Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo), who go on to become the Good Witch and the Wicked Witch of the West, respectively. Wicked reviews have been glowing from critics, and the movie is now expected to be a major contender at the Oscars, including in the Best Picture category. The film has also succeeded with audiences, grossing $643 million worldwide since its release. All of this bodes well for the release of Wicked: For Good this coming November, which will bring the story of Glinda and Elphaba to a close.
