Plot Summary of Wicked Part One
Wicked Part One introduced audiences to the unlikely friendship between Elphaba Thropp, a misunderstood green-skinned woman with extraordinary magical powers, and Glinda Upland, a privileged and bubbly socialite.
Set before the events of The Wizard of Oz, the first film explored their time as students at Shiz University in the land of Oz, where they forged a complex bond. As Elphaba, played by Cynthia Erivo, uncovers the corruption behind the Wizard’s regime, her defiance sets her on a path to becoming the infamous Wicked Witch of the West. Meanwhile, Glinda, portrayed by Ariana Grande, begins her transformation into the Good Witch of the North.
The film ends with the two parting ways, their friendship tested by their diverging paths and the political turmoil in Oz.
