Wicked is a much-loved musical by many and as we see it kick off onto screens this November people are buzzing with excitement.
On October 30th Wicked had its first special screening where famous popstar, Ariana Grande and film star Cynthia Erivo attended.
Also present at the private screening were past performers who had played Glinda and Elphaba. Mary Kate Morrissey, Alyssa Fox, Jenny DiNoia, Talia Suskauer, Caroline Bowman, and Dee Roscioli were all seen as they attended the screening having played Elphaba themselves in past performances.
Glinda’s, Brittney Johnson, Amanda Jane Cooper, Alli Mauzey, Alexandra Socha, Carrie St. Louis, Ginna Claire Mason, McKenzie Kurtz, and Katie Rose Clarke showed up to take some pictures and welcome the new Glinda and Elphaba.
Broadway’s first ever Glinda, Kristin Chenoworth also made an appearance amongst these stars, describing the film as “a gift for us all” in a recent social media post.
Kristin played the original Glinda at the Gershwin theatre for its first run in 2003. Over these 21 years Wicked has gained many fans and a huge amount of popularity.
The screening was held at the famous DGA theater in New York last evening as people got a first look at this wicked movie!
Ariana dazzled in Atelier Versace and Paula Rowan gloves as she bought her own little sparkle to her character of Glinda.
Her vintage styled look wowed photographers as she took to the red carpet.
She wrote in an Instagram caption that it was “a very emotional night celebrating Wicked with some of the beautiful and brilliant Glindas and Elphabas that have come before ours.”
A very heartfelt message to all as she posted pictures of the event.
Wicked’s first part is to be released in UK cinemas on November 22nd as excited fans wait to see this magical movie.
