The Wicked films are directed by Jon M. Chu from a screenplay written by Winnie Holzman, the musical’s book writer. It is based on Gregory Maguire’s bestselling novel and the Tony-winning musical.

After meeting The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, their friendship reaches a crossroads and their lives take very different paths. Glinda’s unwavering desire for popularity leads her to be tempted by power, while Elphaba’s determination to stay true to herself and those around her will have unexpected and shocking consequences for her future. Through their extraordinary adventures in Oz, they will ultimately fulfill their destinies as Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.”
