Wicked viewers demand Oscar consideration for Ariana Grande in rave first reviews

Directed by John M Chu, the new screen adaptation of the Broadway hit stars Ariana Grande as Glinda the Good Witch and Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba the Wicked Witch of the West.

Clayton Davis, senior awards editor for Variety, went as far as to say that “Galinda is the role Ariana Grande was born to play.”

Wicked has thoroughly impressed critics, who have declared the movie musical a “masterpiece” and a must-see following early screenings.
