Universal Pictures Philippines announced on Tuesday, Dec. 24 that the Wicked sing-along version is coming to Philippine theaters on Jan. 8. Tickets are now available in cinemas near you.
The movie adaptation of the famous stage musical will tell the story of the witches of Oz. It centers on Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo), a young woman with unusual green skin who has yet to discover her true power, and Glinda (Ariana Grande), who is popular and gilded by privilege and ambition but has yet to discover her true heart.
After meeting as students at Shiz University, Elphaba and Glinda unexpectedly form a close bond. Their friendship, however, gets tested after an encounter with The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, even as their lives take very different paths.
Aside from Grande and Erivo, the film also stars Jonathan Bailey, Jeff Goldblum, Michelle Yeoh, Bowen Yang, Marissa Bode, Peter Dinklage, and Ethan Slater.
The first part of the film has grossed over $520 million (over P30 billion) worldwide just less than a month since its release.
It also earned nods from prestigious award-giving bodies, namely Golden Globes and Critics’ Choice Awards with four and 11 nominations, respectively.
The film's second part, dubbed Wicked: For Good, is slated for release on Nov. 21.
