Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo are set to star in the highly-anticipated movie adaptation of the hit Broadway musical, Wicked. The film, directed by Jon M. Chu, is a two-part project with the first installment scheduled to hit theaters on Nov. 27.
Wicked is based on the Tony-winning musical of the same name, which in turn is inspired by Gregory Maguire's novel, Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West. The story delves into the lives of characters from L. Frank Baum's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, famously portrayed in the 1939 film musical The Wizard of Oz.
