"Wicked" at Landmark Glendale

Wicked (also known as Wicked – Part 1) is a 2024 film directed by Jon M. Chu from a screenplay by Winnie Holzman and Dana Fox. It is the first of a two-part film adaptation of the stage musical of the same name by Stephen Schwartz and Holzman, which in turn was loosely based on the 1995 novel of the same name by Gregory Maguire. The film stars Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, with Jonathan Bailey, Ethan Slater, Bowen Yang, Marissa Bode, Peter Dinklage, Michelle Yeoh, and Jeff Goldblum in supporting roles.
Set in the Land of Oz, largely before Dorothy Gale's arrival from Kansas, the plot covers the events of the musical's first act, following green-skinned Elphaba's studies at Shiz University and the beginning of her path to ultimately becoming the Wicked Witch of the West, alongside an unlikely friendship with a classmate who later becomes Glinda the Good Witch of the North.

Tickets are $13.00 per person. We'll be gathered in the lobby before the film. The film starts at 7PM so I've made the meetup time 630 PM to give us time to socialize before the film. If there's enough interest after the film, we'll go to a nearby restaurant to discuss it. Hope to see you there!
