UNIVERSAL FEATURETTE: “WICKED” – WHICH WITCH IS WHICH?

 

A BEHIND-THE-SCENES LOOK-SEE THAT GIVES US A PEEK AT THE STARS, AND THE EPIC SCALE, OF THIS NEW MOVIE…

Wicked, the untold story of the witches of Oz, stars Emmy, Grammy and Tony winning powerhouse Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba, a young woman, misunderstood because of her unusual green skin. And Grammy-winning Ariana Grande as Glinda, a popular young woman, gilded by privilege and ambition, who has yet to discover her true heart….  I HAVE SEEN THE BROADWAY MUSICAL 3 TIMES AND IT IS FANTASTIC.  I think of it as: “The witches from Oz go to Hogwarts.”
        —- 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.
