The movie Wicked, starring Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande, and Jeff Goldblum, has officially made history as we approach the final months of the year.

Scoring 90 out of 100 on Rotten Tomatoes, the film has packed cinemas worldwide. In a time when musical adaptations aren’t particularly favored, Wicked has shattered box office records.

Directed by Jon M. Chu, the film centers on the friendship between Elphaba, a misunderstood woman with green skin, and Glinda. Their destinies take a dramatic turn after encountering the Wizard of Oz.

Film critics are already hailing Wicked as "the best musical of the year." Ariana Grande’s portrayal of Glinda has especially garnered widespread acclaim from audiences.

In addition to its commercial success, Wicked’s simultaneous release with Gladiator 2 has become a hot topic. Just as 2023 saw the "Barbenheimer" phenomenon, a similar buzz is expected around these two films. Have you watched Wicked yet?
