The new Wicked trailer asks the question “Are people born wicked, or do they have wickedness thrust upon them?” – and it’s up to young witches Elphaba and Glinda to give us the answer.

Elphaba is a social pariah when she arrives at Shiz University, where her unusual green skin sets her apart from her peers. She forges an unlikely friendship with privileged and popular Glinda, but their relationship reaches a crossroads when they meet the Wonderful Wizard of Oz, setting in motion a chain of events that will have unexpected and shocking consequences for their future.

New trailer offers snippets of new versions of “Popular” and “Defying Gravity”, two of the most popular songs from the original Broadway hit. In addition to Erivo and Grande, Jonathan Bailey, Ethan Slater, Jeff Goldblum, Michelle Yeoh, and Bowen Yang also appear in the trailer.

Wicked is scheduled to be released on November 27, while its sequel will hit the theaters exactly a year later.

Wicked is celebrating its 15th anniversary and fans are in for a treat. The original stars of the Broadway hit will reunite for a special tribute concert which will be broadcast on NBC. 

The concert special commissioned by the network is titled A Very Wicked Halloween: Celebrating 15 Years on Broadway and will bring Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth together again. The two who portrayed Oz residents and onetime friends Elphaba and Glinda in the musical, will be joined by special guests including the already announced Ariana Grande and Pentatonix. 

“Wicked is a blockbuster musical playing all over the world and still selling out night after night after 15 years on Broadway, and we’re thrilled to be partnering with Emmy and Tony-winning producer Marc Platt and the entire WICKED team to celebrate the enduring success of this show,” said Doug Vaughan, Executive Vice President, Special Programs and Late Night, NBC Entertainment in a press release. “We’re especially excited to have Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth reunited along with big guest stars in front of an audience — in costume hopefully — to help us celebrate the Halloween season.”

The show will be held at New York’s Marquis Theater and will air on Monday, October 29.
