‘Wicked’ Teaser: Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo Look Magical

The first look at the Wicked film adaptation has landed. Glinda and Elphaba—played by Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, respectively—look absolutely stunning in their big movie musical makeover, which is set to release its first part this Thanksgiving.

“The best way to bring folks together is to give them a real good enemy,” narrates the Wonderful Wizard of Oz (Jeff Goldblum) in the opening moments of the clip. Then, Elphaba and Glinda have their first encounter at Shiz University. Bubbly Glinda, who wears a fashionable pink from head-to-toe, is shocked to see her new roommate, Elphaba, is green.

To quote an old, wise frog, it’s not easy being green—and Elphaba struggles to fit in on campus. Her powers are too strong to control, although Glinda tries her best to remedy her new pal’s major struggles. In under a minute of screen time together, Grande and Erivo manage to prove not only that they’re glamorous enough to fill these big, ruby red slippers—they’ve got the chemistry to play great friends, too.
