First full length trailer for Wicked has been released

Universal has put out the first full-length trailer for the two-part musical Wicked, starring Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo.

Adapted from the Tony-winning Broadway musical of the same name, Wicked is a prequel to The Wizard of Oz and recounts the events preceding Dorothy’s arrival into the land of Oz. It tells the story of the friendship between the two then-aspiring witches Elphaba and Glinda in their youth before they became enemies.

The trailer shows new footage of Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo singing ‘Popular’ and ‘Defying Gravity’.
