Whimsical 'Wicked' delight

Looking for something magical to indulge in this weekend? The much anticipated cinematic release of Wicked: Part One is here to sweep you off your feet.

Directed by the visionary Jon M Chu and penned by Winnie Holzman and Dana Fox, this 2024 American musical fantasy is an enchanting prequel to the classic tale of The Wizard of Oz.

Rather than following Dorothy and Toto, Wicked delves into the untold story of the two witches of Oz - Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West, and Glinda, the Good Witch (or is she?).

Their journey, riddled with friendship, betrayal and self-discovery, reveals how these iconic characters came to embody good and evil in the magical land of Oz.

A spectacular vision of Oz The visual artistry of Wicked: Part One is nothing short of breathtaking, computer-generated imagery at its finest.

The Emerald City shimmers with grandeur, a jewel-toned metropolis filled with towering spires, vibrant marketplaces and intricate architecture.

Every detail, from the golden cobblestones of the city square to the swirling green hues of the wizard's chambers, is crafted with care to immerse audiences in this fantastical realm.
