Chu breaks down why cutting said scene was extremely difficult, why it ultimately had to go, and how the political depth of Wicked Part 1 will only get deeper in Wicked: For Good.The Wicked cast includes Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande, Jonathan Bailey, Michelle Yeo, Jeff Goldblum and more. You’ll be able to check out more Wicked behind the scenes, deleted scenes, and a whole host of other features with the home release on December 31.

1 year, 2 months - Wicked, reviewed by Alyssa Mora.Wicked is a well-oiled machine in the hands of Jon M. Chu. This film adaptation epitomizes what modern movie musicals can and should be, embracing its source material while cleverly translating it to screen. Tear-jerking performances by Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo make the movie, playing to their individual strengths to bring to life the rapport between Glinda and Elphaba, who’ll go on to become the good and wicked witches of Wizard of Oz fame. If as many people love this film as much as I did, Wicked will undoubtedly immortalize the Grande and Erivo in movie musical history.
