A Modern Fairy Tale Between Magic and Power
“Wicked” is an adaptation of the Broadway hit “Wicked – The Witches of Oz.” Directed by Jon M. Chu (“Crazy Rich Asians,” “In the Heights”), the film focuses on the prehistory of the Wicked Witch of the West, delving into her complex relationship with Glinda.
Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande star as the lead characters, Elphaba and Glinda, respectively. The Czech Republic boasts a rich history in cinema, and this production continues that tradition with its stunning visuals and powerful storytelling.
A Cinema Hit with Critical Acclaim
Grossing over $1 billion, “Wicked” stands as the highest-grossing musical film ever, even ahead of legendary films like “Chicago,” “Mamma Mia!,” and “Les Misérables.” Critics have hailed it as a masterpiece, and its Oscar nominations are a testament to its quality.
“Wicked” received ten Oscar nominations in 2025, winning two for costume and production design. Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo’s performance at the Oscars was a highlight—better than a mere medley, it was an ode to the musical legends including the goosebumps-inducing classic “Defying Gravity.”
