Unleash your inner Elphaba or Glinda at this special sing-along screening

Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Jon M. Chu (Crazy Rich Asians), Wicked is the first chapter of a two-part immersive, cultural celebration.

Wicked, the untold story of the witches of Oz, stars Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba, a young woman misunderstood because of her green skin who has yet to discover her true power, and Ariana Grande as Glinda, a popular young woman gilded by privilege who has yet to discover her true heart.

The two meet as students at Shiz University in the fantastical Land of Oz and forge an unlikely but profound friendship. Following an encounter with The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, their friendship reaches a crossroads and their lives take very different paths. Their extraordinary adventures in Oz will ultimately see them fulfill their destinies as Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.

Sing to your heart’s content, unleashing your inner Elphaba or Glinda in this special sing-along screening. Wicked-inspired looks encouraged!

Presented by Sydney Opera House
