Based on the famous Broadway musical of the same name, the work will be directed by Jon M. Chu.
The plot of “Wicked” follows the story of Elphaba, a young woman who has not yet discovered her true power and is misunderstood because she has green skin, and Glinda, a popular and ambitious woman who still does not know her true soul.
The two meet at Shiz University, in the Land of OZ, and become great friends, but their differences cause life to separate them, leading them to fulfill their destinies as the Good Witch of the South and the Wicked Witch of the West. (classic characters from “The Wizard of Oz”, a 1939 film).
