Los Angeles Premiere of Wicked Film Held

The Los Angeles premiere of the musical film adaptation 'Wicked' took place on November 9 at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, featuring a star-studded red carpet that included both current and original stars. Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, who play Glinda and Elphaba respectively, dazzled in their characters' signature colors, while original Broadway stars Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth celebrated alongside them, marking a symbolic passing of the torch. Other notable attendees included Michelle Yeoh, Jeff Goldblum, and Jonathan Bailey, with the latter making a bold fashion statement. Director Jon M. Chu was absent as he awaited the birth of his fifth child. The film, based on the acclaimed Broadway musical, explores the backstory of the Wicked Witch of the West and her friendship with Glinda. 'Wicked' is set to hit theaters on November 22.
