New Wicked Behind The Scenes Feature Teases A Major Cameo

A new behind the scenes featurette has been released of the upcoming Wicked movie, and it appears to tease a major cameo.

The new video shows some new look clips from the film, and it also looks to show Broadway’s original Glinda, Kristin Chenoweth, lingering in the back of one scene.

Catch it at around the 1:53 mark below, with some suggesting she may appear as Glinda’s mother.

Two decades after Wicked first captured our hearts with its twist on the witches of Oz, the musical finally gets the cinematic treatment it deserves

Starring Cynthia Erivo, who’s no stranger to a standing ovation (we’re talking about a woman with an Emmy, Grammy, and Tony!), Wicked promises to be an electrifying experience.

Ariana Grande meanwhile into the shoes of Glinda, the bubbly, blonde beauty who’s as ambitious as she is adored. Glinda’s got a golden heart wrapped in a glittering exterior, and Ariana’s got the chops to make you laugh, cry, and root for her, all in one go.

Their friendship is the heart of Wicked. They start as polar opposites—one misunderstood, the other the epitome of popularity—but their bond grows stronger as they navigate the highs and lows of life at Shiz University in the fantastical Land of Oz.

However, it’s not all rainbows and bubble baths. When the Wonderful Wizard of Oz steps into the picture, their friendship is tested in ways they never imagined.

Glinda’s thirst for popularity and power pulls her one way, while Elphaba’s commitment to staying true to herself drags her in another.

The first film will arrive in cinemas from 22 November 2024.
