Glinda, the Good Witch, always senses the goodness in everyone. Even with Elphaba, the eventual Wicked Witch of the West, in the upcoming musical Wicked.

Director Jon M. Chu of In the Heights and Step Up Revolution is helming the film, which is based on Winnie Holzman’s adapted screenplay.

The cast includes Cynthia Erivo (Harriet, Bad Times at the El Royale), Ariana Grande (Don’t Look Up, Sam & Cat), Michelle Yeoh (Everything Everywhere All at Once, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon), Jeff Goldblum (Jurassic Park, The Fly), Jonathan Bailey (Bridgerton, Crashing), Ethan Slater (The SpongeBob Musical: Live on Stage!), Marissa Bode (No Roles Written), Bowen Yang (High Maintenance, Isn’t It Romantic), Bronwyn James (Lockwood & Co.), Keala Settle (The Greatest Showman), and Peter Dinklage (Game of Thrones).

Here is the official synopsis:

Wicked, the untold story of the witches of Oz, stars Emmy, Grammy and Tony-winning powerhouse Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba, a young woman, misunderstood because of her unusual green skin, who has yet to discover her true power, and Grammy-winning, multi-platinum recording artist and global superstar Ariana Grande as Glinda, a popular young woman, gilded by privilege and ambition, who has yet to discover her true heart.

The two meet as students at Shiz University in the fantastical Land of Oz and forge an unlikely but profound friendship. Following an encounter with The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, their friendship reaches a crossroads, and their lives take very different paths. Glinda’s unflinching desire for popularity sees her seduced by power, while Elphaba’s determination to remain true to herself, and to those around her, will have unexpected and shocking consequences on her future. Their extraordinary adventures in Oz will ultimately see them fulfill their destinies as Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.
