Wicked

What: Movie.
When: Fri., Nov. 22
Where: In theatres
Genre: Musical
Why you should watch: After what seems like years of build up — and one celebrity scandal — Part 1 of the big-screen adaptation of Wicked finally hits theatres in November. Directed by Jon M. Chu (Crazy Rich Asians), the film stars Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba and Ariana Grande as Glinda, two unlikely friends who become the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good in the Land of Oz. Based on a Broadway show that’s been running for two decades, Wicked certainly has its following, but will this adaptation resonate with audiences beyond die-hard musical theatre fans?
