Grande and Erivo Shine Again

Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo are back and more dazzling than ever. The pair drew rave reviews for their emotionally rich and vocally powerful performances in Wicked (2024), which became the highest-grossing musical film adaptation in history, grossing $755 million worldwide and winning two Academy Awards out of ten nominations, including Best Picture.



Directed by Jon M. Chu (Crazy Rich Asians, In the Heights), Wicked: For Good is adapted from the second act of the Tony-winning 2003 Broadway musical, which was itself based on Gregory Maguire’s 1995 novel, a twisted retelling of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.

Jon M Chu explained his decision to split the story into two parts, saying, “It was impossible to do justice to Wicked in a single film without sacrificing the heart and complexity of the source material. These characters deserve a full canvas.”
