Yes seen it on Broadway with the original cast. It's absolutely amazing. Also seen it in Edinburgh when it was on it's UK tour. Cynthia Erivo plays Elphaba, she is amazing. Watch Harriet if you have not seen it already.

I have seen the show on Broadway 5 times already, and I love the stage performance. However, based on this trailer, I'm not really feeling it for the movie version. To be brutally honest, between the two options, I'd rather spend the $300+ for premium orchestra seats for it on Broadway again before I watch this movie version.

Seriously?!?! Wow she must have some crazy talent !!! Thank you for this information!!

Wicked is about Friendship, Betrayal, Love, Being and outcast. Wicked tells you about why "Wizard of Oz" characters are they way they are. If you ever felt different, insecure, afraid, loved and shuned. You will relate to Wicked. Wicked is All of us! I can go on about Wicked but it will Spoil it. If the Touring company is near you GO see it..don't think about seeing it just go. In the End "Wicked" is about LOVE and ACCEPTANCE.

@jayvansickle7607 true. It's nice to see an actor not just latch onto roles strictly for the $$$

The musical is based on the novel "Wicked" by Gregory Maguire. Then, it got developed into a musical-meanwhile he released a sequel called "Son of a Witch". So, there is a potential for this to be a franchise, cover the broadway musical, but then do something like "Greatest Showman" and just release movie musicals as sequels. All based on the books.

I think this first movie has potential to take off and create a lot of new fans of an age old franchise. If we are lucky!!

This is a two part movie. Part one is actually Act one of the Broadway show and part 2 is actually act 2. We don’t see “wiz of oz” that we know until act 2. Everything is explained in part 2. Everything leads into each other

I'm wondering if a role reversal happens or something!!

Wicked is my favorite musical. I've seen it 4 times. It is based on the novel from 1995, Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, by Gregory Maguire. It is my favorite book and book series (There are 3 other books that came out after the musical). It is essentially a commentary on evil and the injustices in the world through the lens of the WWW's life. The book is a lot darker and deeper than the musical, but the musical is still wonderful and mind blowing. I highly recommend looking up the musical and trying the book.

I saw it live with the original cast and I really enjoyed it. I’ve read the book which has a darker tone than the Broadway show. I wonder if the film will be somewhere in the middle. Don’t want to spoil the plot but I like what I see in the trailer.😊

Wicked is the Wizard of Oz if it was written by the Brothers Grimm the musical is based on the novel Wicked by Gregory Maguire he wrote several novels based on the life and times of the Wicked Witch of West and they are way darker than the musical

While he was away wife was raped by a elf now this how she got her magic and why she is green and simplified explanation of how she was born she was born with razor sharp teeth and i can't remember but sometime after they found out that she was also allergic to water...In the original Wizzard not only was she afraid of water she was also terrified of the dark...Which I was so fascinated by.

The trailer purposely tries to make it seem like she goes dark because of bullying. The real reason has to do with something else entirely, not shown here. It's a much deeper plot twist.
