Ariana Grande Attends Special Cast And Filmmakers Screening Of WICKED
Ariana Grande hosted a special screening of her new film, Wicked: Part 1, at The DGA Theater last night, October 28. The singer joined her costar, Cynthia Erivo, for the special event, which celebrated not only the upcoming film, but the Broadway musical it is based off.
Based on the hit Broadway musical, “Wicked, the untold story of the witches of Oz, stars Emmy, Grammy and Tony winning powerhouse Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba, a young woman, misunderstood because of her unusual green skin, who has yet to discover her true power, and Grammy-winning, multi-platinum recording artist and global superstar Ariana Grande as Glinda, a popular young woman, gilded by privilege and ambition, who has yet to discover her true heart.
The two meet as students at Shiz University in the fantastical Land of Oz and forge an unlikely but profound friendship. Following an encounter with The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, their friendship reaches a crossroads and their lives take very different paths. 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. Their extraordinary adventures in Oz will ultimately see them fulfill their destinies as Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.”
Part 1 will open in theaters this November.
