Wicked (2024)

Everyone deserves the chance to fly …  

After two decades as one of the world’s most beloved and enduring stage musicals, Wicked became the #5 biggest box office movie of 2024, and the highest-grossing musical film adaptation of all time. The untold story of the witches of Oz was nominated for 10 Oscars this year, including Motion Picture of the Year, winning Best Costume Design and Production Design, as well as over 100 other awards.  
 
Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande were both nominated for Oscars, as Best Actress and Supporting Actress respectively. Erivo plays Elphaba, a young woman misunderstood because of her unusual green skin, who has yet to discover her true power, while Grande plays her fellow wizarding student, Glinda. Also look out for Oscar winner Michelle Yeoh, Emmy nominee Jonathan Bailey, and Oscar nominee Jeff Goldblum as the legendary Wizard of Oz himself.  

Wall Street Journal hailed Wicked as “the most entertaining film of the year.” Part 2 is expected later this year.
