Wicked is the first movie in a two-part feature film adaptation of the Tony Award-winning musical. The movie tells the origin stories of Elphaba (Erivo), a green, strong-willed outcast, and Glinda (Grande), a popular young woman. The two first meet at Shiz University in the Land of Oz and form an unlikely friendship. Their fateful meeting with The Wonderful Wizard of Oz causes a schism in their relationship, as the two head down paths to eventually become the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good, respectively.
