Oh man, have you seen those first-look photos of Glinda and Elphaba from the upcoming Wicked movie? They look seriously amazing. I might even dare to say wicked…haha.
Basically, the article talks about how fans of the hit musical will finally get to see their favorite characters come to life on the big screen. There are two main characters, Glinda and Elphaba, who are played by actresses Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth in the original Broadway production. But for the film adaptation, we have newcomer Ariana Grande as Glinda and Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba.
The photos themselves are stunning. Ariana looks ethereal and goddess-like in her sparkling pink dress, while Cynthia is fierce and brooding in her black ensemble. But what’s even more exciting is that we get a glimpse of the two characters together, which is really what the whole story is about - their unlikely friendship and journey from enemies to BFFs.
As a theater nerd myself, I’m beyond excited to finally see this story come to life on the big screen. And even if you’re not a fan of musicals or haven’t seen Wicked before, I think it’s worth checking out for the incredible cast and stunning visuals.
Overall, these photos are just a taste of what’s to come, and I can’t wait to see the full movie when it comes out later this year.
