This long-awaited sequel promises to bring the enchanting world of Oz back to life with all the magic, drama, and music that made the Broadway show a phenomenon. Perfectly timed for a Thanksgiving release, it’s a film that’s set to become a holiday tradition for fans new and old. So, grab your popcorn and prepare to be spellbound!
The Journey from Stage to Screen
Wicked has been captivating audiences on Broadway since 2003, giving us the untold story of the witches of Oz, Elphaba and Glinda. Now, with Wicked: Part Two, the story continues with a fresh twist. Director Jon M. Chu, known for Crazy Rich Asians and In the Heights, is bringing his unique vision to this ambitious project, promising a movie that’s as visually stunning as it is emotionally gripping.
Why Two Parts? Double the Drama!
Splitting Wicked into two parts is a bold move, but it’s all about giving us more of what we love. With the first part hitting theaters in November 2024 and the second part a year later, there’s plenty of time to dive deep into the story, explore the characters, and savor every magical moment. The staggered release has fans counting down the days!
