Wicked: Part 1 adapted from the acclaimed Broadway musical explores how Elphaba and Glinda, two university students at Shiz, forge a friendship despite stark differences. Elphaba, misunderstood for her green skin, strives for truth and justice. Glinda, drawn to privilege and social acceptance, embraces ambition. Their conflicting values lead to tension when they learn of the Wizard’s corruption and unequal treatment in Oz. The film captures their emotional journey, moments of magic and betrayal, and sets in motion the events that will eventually transform Elphaba into the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda into the Good Witch forever changing Oz’s destiny.

Despite being advertised simply as “Wicked,” the film you saw in theaters as 2024’s big musical blockbuster is already conceived as “Part 1 of a two-part saga.” That means everything from the casting, set design, and even the ending was intentionally designed to set up a sequel. Many viewers may not realize the story isn’t “complete” yet, making the theatrical release effectively just the first act of a larger epic.
