"Wicked" tells the story of Elphaba and Glinda's friendship and how their lives go in different directions after they meet The Wizard of Oz.
“Glinda’s unflinching desire for popularity sees her seduced by power, while Elphaba’s determination to remain true to herself, and to those around her, will have unexpected and shocking consequences on her future,” a press release about the movie said.
In a video shared by Universal Pictures in May, Grande and Erivo shared their excitement over stepping into the shoes of their characters.
