Sharon D Clarke and more join Wicked movie

It’s been confirmed: multi-award-winning stage star Sharon D Clarke will appear in the forthcoming Wicked movie.

Revealed as part of the show’s official soundtrack, Clarke will take on an as unconfirmed role in the forthcoming flick. West End stars Courtney Mae-Briggs (Hamilton) and Jenna Boyd (Come From Away) will also appear – and we’re sure we can add more names to the list in the near future.

The film (first of two parts) will bubble into cinemas on 22 November.

The Wicked films star Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba, Ariana Grande as Glinda, Oscar winner Michelle Yeoh as Madame Morrible, Jonathan Bailey as Fiyero, Tony nominee Ethan Slater as Boq, Marissa Bode as Nessarose, Jeff Goldblum as the Wizard of Oz, and Peter Dinklage as Dr Dillamond. Jon M Chu directs the two-part property. Part Two is slated for November 2025.

New footage (and singing!) has also been released today:
