Wicked continues in the West End, so if you want a “Defying Gravity” fix, it may be quicker to see it there – the two-part films are set for release in 2024 and 2025.

Based on the novel by Gregory Maguire, Wicked tells the story of two unlikely university friends in the land of Oz, one destined to become Glinda The Good and the other, the Wicked Witch of the West. The musical features a score by Stephen Schwartz and a book by Winnie Holzman, with direction by Joe Mantello and choreography by Wayne Cilento.
