Wicked: A Magical Adventure in Oz
Have you ever wondered what makes a hero or a villain? Or what it’s like to be different?
Get ready to be whisked away to the colourful land of Oz with Wicked—the latest magical
musical that’s taking over theatres! Directed by Jon M. Chu and starring Ariana Grande as the
bubbly Glinda and Cynthia Erivo as the green-skinned Elphaba, this movie is packed with
drama, glitter, and big emotions. If you’ve ever loved fairy tales or daydreamed about going
to a magical school, Wicked is the perfect story for you.
Friendships, Frenemies, and Magic Schools!
Welcome to Shiz University, the coolest (and sometimes weirdest) magical school in Oz.
Think of it as a Hogwarts-meets-Karan Johar campus, but with flying monkeys and more
sparkle! Glinda arrives with a truckload of pink suitcases, ready to be the ultimate diva. But
her plans hit a roadblock when she’s forced to share her room with Elphaba, a smart and
misunderstood girl born with green skin.
At first, they’re total frenemies. But as they uncover secrets about Oz, they learn there’s more
to life than just looking good or fitting in. Elphaba discovers her magical powers while
Glinda starts questioning whether she’s really as “good” as everyone says.
Songs That’ll Stay in Your Head
From heart-thumping solos to duets full of sass, Wicked’s music is a feast for the ears! Ariana
Grande’s Glinda is all about high notes and sparkly energy, while Cynthia Erivo’s Elphaba
belts out powerful songs that might just give you goosebumps. If “Let It Go” is your jam,
Elphaba’s big number, “Defying Gravity,” is the new anthem to sing in the shower.
Sets Straight Out of a Dream
The world of Oz is a visual treat! Picture a library with books stacked in giant wheels and a
glittering Emerald City that looks like it was dipped in Gulab jamun syrup. Even the train to
Emerald City feels like something out of a sci-fi fairy tale.
We give Wicked a solid 4 hoots out of 5!
