Adapted from the enormously successful Broadway musical about origin story of the Wicked Witch of the West, this fantasy adventure takes somewhere over the rainbow in the magical Land of Oz. A studious young woman called Elphaba arrives at Shiz University and is immediately cast as different because of her unusual green skin. Her new roommate is Glinda, a spoilt rich girl who is obsessed with popularity. The two students don't get off to the best start, but they eventually form an unlikely friendship. Elphaba's determination to stand up against injustice and her extraordinary magical powers catch the attention of her professors, who send her to meet the almighty Wizard of Oz. But the Emerald City holds unexpected secrets, and a course is set for these iconic characters to fulfil their destinies. This first instalment of a two-part epic includes the much-loved soaring songs from the stage version.


Speaker

This exclusive screening for students will be followed by a panel focused on film industry roles and a career in the screen sector. Suitable for 11+. We’re welcoming Beth Slater (art department model maker & prop modeller), Denise Joborne (production trainee), Jason Houssein (draughtsperson) and a Universal marketing/ publicity executive

After two decades, the beloved and enduring stage musical makes its journey to the big screen as a spectacular, generation-defining cinematic event. The untold story of the witches of Oz stars Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba, a young woman, misunderstood because of her unusual green skin, who has yet to discover her true power, and Ariana Grande as Glinda, a popular young woman, gilded by privilege, who has yet to discover her true heart. As they forge an unlikely friendship, their extraordinary adventures will see them fulfill their destinies as Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.
