About
Quick guide
Wicked (2024) follows Elphaba and Glinda through the halls of Oz’s Shiz University, revealing a friendship that shapes destinies of good and wicked.
In 2024, director Jon M. Chu expands the beloved musical into a two‑part film, offering a cinematic retelling of the story that first appeared in L. Frank Baum’s 1900 book.

Their friendship is tested by politics, magic, and the looming threat of the Wizard’s tyranny. The film balances song, spectacle, and darker themes while exploring identity, power, and the cost of standing up for what is right, all set against Oz’s vivid fantasy backdrop.

Plot Overview
Wicked opens with Elphaba and Glinda’s first day at Shiz University, where the green‑skinned outcast and the blonde socialite are paired as roommates. The film chronicles their friendship and rivalry against the backdrop of Oz’s political landscape, leading up to a climactic confrontation with the Wizard. The narrative balances music, magic, and social commentary, culminating in a dramatic opening of the second part.
Character Dynamics
Elphaba’s fierce intelligence clashes with Glinda’s social grace, yet their bond deepens as they confront injustice. Glinda’s charisma and Elphaba’s conviction create a compelling duality that drives the story. Supporting roles—such as Doctor Dillamond and Madame Morrible—add layers to the political intrigue, enriching the central conflict.
Musical Landscape
The soundtrack incorporates iconic numbers like “Defying Gravity” while introducing new songs that reflect the film’s broader themes. The musical arrangements blend classic Broadway flair with cinematic orchestration, delivering emotional resonance that supports character development.
Visual and Special Effects
The production uses CGI to animate dragons, flying monkeys, and lush Oz landscapes, while practical effects ground the fantastical elements. The visual style emphasizes color symbolism—green for Elphaba’s passion, pink for Glinda’s optimism—to reinforce thematic contrasts.
Political and Social Themes
Wicked examines authoritarian control, animal rights, and the manipulation of fear. The Wizard’s regime serves as an allegory for political oppression, while the animal resistance plot highlights marginalized voices seeking recognition.
Adaptation Choices
Chu’s two‑part structure expands the story beyond the original stage musical, adding backstories and deeper world‑building. The film stays true to the source material’s core while introducing new narrative threads to keep contemporary audiences engaged.
Reception and Legacy
Critics praise the film’s ambitious scope and musical fidelity, though some note tonal inconsistencies. Fans of the musical welcome the expanded storyline, while newcomers appreciate the fresh visual storytelling. The film’s success may pave the way for a sequel that completes the arc.
