A new teaser for "Wicked" has been released, highlighting the incredible high notes from Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo.
A part of the teaser shows the Wizard of Oz inviting Elphaba Thropp to experience something magical. As the Wicked Witch of the West, she stands transformed before him.
With a flourish, Mr. Oz, clad in a striking green ensemble, demonstrates his mystical powers and manipulates the intricate machinery surrounding him. A panoramic view of the magnificent Emerald City unfolds before their eyes.
In a fleeting moment, viewers can catch a glimpse of Peter Dinklage lending his voice to embody Doctor Dillamond, a goat and scholarly figure at Shiz University.
Following this, the camera pans to two women reclining on their beds, positioned next to each other, harmonizing a snippet from the tune "What Is This Feeling?" from the musical "Wicked," featured on the official musical soundtrack.
Witness the talented British actress performing "The Wizard And I" from the musical, a song typically sung by Elphaba.
As the duo begins to harmonize, a spectacle unfolds with the Wicked Witch gracefully soaring on her broomstick in the background, accompanied by Glinda showing off her enchanting powers in a pink outfit.
In the video, viewers can also see Jonathan Bailey flaunting his vocal talents while singing a snippet from his performance in "Dancing Through Life." The final scene shows the Wicked Witch with soaring high notes.
"Wicked" is the prequel to "The Wizard of Oz." It explores what happens before Dorothy ever sets foot in the Land of Oz.
The new teaser drop comes a recent "private" preview has made headlines because the Kardashian clan hosted an exclusive private viewing of the movie, a full month before its official launch.
Critics have denounced the controversial family for their excessive privilege as they mingled with celebrities Grande and Erivo during the special screening event, which took place at the LA home of Kim Kardashian.
The choice made by Universal Pictures to use advance celebrity screenings as a promotional strategy has stirred up frustration among fans. They believe that the movie should have been shown to aspiring young actors before the reality TV celebrities got a sneak peek.
