Stephen Schwartz’s Broadway musical Wicked has finally found a home on-screen as Wicked: Part 1 — and with Ariana Grande in the starring role, we’re expecting buzz akin to this year’s Barbie build-up.
The early images are proving that the film version will be every bit the large-scale production that helped the 2003 musical to become Broadway’s fourth-longest running show, surpassing Cats and earning over a billion dollars.
Wicked: Box Office Smash
There’s always interest in Halloween-related films, which Hollywood knows how to market.
Wicked has a built-in audience due to one of the most successful Broadway runs ever.
Add to that the star-power and vocal chops of Arianna Grande, Osca and this may be one of 2024’s highest-grossing film.
There’s hope that one of Broadway’s highest-earning properties translates to streaming in the way that Wednesday did.
