Wicked

Wicked could be considered Hollywood's big film of 2024 with its huge cult following and barrage of original as well as new fans to make sure to please. And of course it did that and more. Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande and Jonathan Bailey star in this blockbuster musical adapted from a book to the stage and now into a film. It follows the witch, Elphaba, and her time at Oz's Shiz University giving explanation as to how she became the Wicked Witch of the West in the original The Wizard of Oz. The anticipation for this film has been huge since the news broke of the adaptation in 2016, to the cast reveal in 2021 and finally now with its release, it's the most spoken about film of the year with pink and green being everywhere. They are splitting the story up into two parts, so you'll have to wait another year for Wicked Part Two, but on the brightside it is another whole 2 hours of Jonathan Bailey to look forward to!
