Wicked is a 2024 American musical fantasy film directed by Jon M. Chu and written by Winnie Holzman and Dana Fox. It adapts the first act of the 2003 stage musical by Stephen Schwartz and Holzman, loosely based on Gregory Maguire’s 1995 novel, itself a reimagining of L. Frank Baum’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and its 1939 film adaptation. The film stars Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba Thropp and Ariana Grande as Glinda Upland, with Jonathan Bailey, Ethan Slater, Bowen Yang, Marissa Bode, Peter Dinklage, Michelle Yeoh, and Jeff Goldblum in supporting roles. Set in the Land of Oz before Dorothy Gale arrives from Kansas, the plot explores the early relationship between Elphaba, the future Wicked Witch of the West, and her dormitory roommate Glinda, who becomes Glinda the Good.
