There’s no place like CinemaCon for Universal to debut enchanting new footage for Jon M. Chu’s adaptation of Wicked! On Wednesday, the studio dropped a house on the CinemaCon crowd at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas, helping Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West, to tell her side of a misunderstood story.
During Universal’s CinemaCon presentation, the studio surprised the crowd by activating lanyards and roses given out before the presentation. Like magic, the objects lit up, flashing different colors as the theater filled with music. When the Great and Powerful Oz showed up, the lights interacted with his entrance. Jeff Goldblum is Oz, and he took the stage to introduce the film. “I’ll be a ringtail flying monkey if that’s not the biggest flying cranium I’ve seen in my life,” Goldblum quipped about his character.

Universal’s upcoming adaptation of the Broadway musical “Wicked” showcased some additional footage at this year’s CinemaCon in Las Vegas, bringing down the house with a first look at Cynthia Erivo donning the iconic hat of the Wicked Witch.
Erivo joined director Jon M. Chu and the film’s cast, including costar Ariana Grande, at the event.
“I never could have fathomed that I would have the opportunity to play the Wicked Witch,” Erivo said. “We have performed this song publicly and privately for many years, and now here we are together, getting the chance to perform these songs for an audience around the world.”
The sneak peek showed sweeping shots of the colorful world of Oz, along with Elphaba and Glinda’s turbulent first days together at Shiz University, where they are training to be witches.

Universal ended its CinemaCon presentation with Wicked last year, and they continued to beat the drum for director Jon M. Chu’s feature take of the Broadway musical with a colorful spectacle. Every attendee at Caesars Colosseum was given a faux tulip that lit up in varying colors, in particular pink and green, creating a great visual before Jeff Goldblum aka the Wizard took the stage to introduce Chu and producer Marc Platt.
Chu regaled: “I was a Silicon Valley kid, and as a matter of luck, I was there when Wicked was workshopped in San Francisco. I’ll never forget it; it imprinted on me permanently.”
He was joined by Michelle Yeoh and Jonathan Bailey. Yeoh praised Chu for casting her in roles in which the filmmaker “knows her so well.”
But the big surprise came when the witches themselves, Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, stepped on stage.

Ariana Grande has finalized her divorce from Dalton Gomez, a 28-year-old real estate broker.
After nearly four years together, two of which they were married, the couple decided to separate. The divorce was concluded earlier this month in the Los Angeles Superior Court.
The couple had signed a prenuptial agreement and agreed on the split’s details before arriving in court to ensure an amicable legal split.
The 30-year-old singer settled the case with her now ex-husband in October 2023, but she had to wait six months for the judge’s order to take effect.
Grande net worth is reportedly over $240 million.
Gomez will get a lump sum payment of $1.25 million from Grande but will not seek future alimony. Grande gave her ex-husband half of the proceeds from the sale of their Los Angeles home and will pay up to $25,000 towards his attorney fees.

Ariana Grande’s “Eternal Sunshine” has been somewhat of a surprise smash hit, right? While Grande has always been a huge star, it did seem like her star power had been gradually decreasing since her 2020 release, “Positions,” which did well by any pop star’s standards, but was a bit muted in the long run compared to her previous blockbuster “Thank U, Next.” Grande then faced public scrutiny in 2023 due to rumors surrounding her and “Wicked” co-star Ethan Slater, with speculation that Slater was still married and with a newborn child when he and Grande began a relationship. While those stories have been challenged, there was still the possibility of damage to her career.

When audiences see Wicked on the big screen, director Jon M. Chu promises to expect live vocals.
In a preview with Vanity Fair, the director shared that both Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo insisted on singing live during the production. Grande stars as Glinda, opposite Erivo’s Elphaba in the film.
“These are live vocals,” Chu said. “When we were shooting it, those girls were like, ‘Fuck the pre-records. We’re going live.’ ”
Despite feeling skeptical and questioning the decision (“There’s going to be a lot of wind in your air pipes. Is that okay?” he recalled asking), Chu said the stars “didn’t miss a beat” and said, “Yeah. That’s what we do.”
While performing “Defying Gravity,” Erivo “had a harness pulling and pushing and yanking and tugging on every nook and cranny that there is,” Grande described. Meanwhile, Erivo said of Grande: “I’m literally never...

Ariana Grande published a message on Saturday asking fans to stop sending “hateful messages to the people in my life” following the release of her album, Eternal Sunshine.
“i just wanted to say anyone that is sending hateful messages to the people in my life based on your interpretation of this album is not supporting me and is absolutely doing the polar opposite of what i would ever encourage,” Grande wrote in an Instagram story.
The pop star added that the fan messages are “entirely misinterpreting the intention behind the music.”
Grande’s seventh album, released Friday, explores facets of personal relationships and individual growth, and comes on the heels of a year when her love life dominated the news. Grande and her ex-husband, Dalton Gomez, filed for divorce in September 2023. Around the same time, she was reportedly romantically linked to her Wicked co-star, Ethan Slater.

Ariana Grande‘s new album Eternal Sunshine is clearly a breakup album and fans think that she might be accusing her ex-husband Dalton Gomez of cheating.
The album is partially inspired by the movie Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and the music video for “We Can’t Be Friends” mimics a scene from the film. In the video, Ari seemingly attempts to erase her ex from her memory.
The lyrics for the song “Eternal Sunshine” have fans thinking that Dalton might have cheated.

In the film Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, estranged lovers Joel and Clementine, played by Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet, undergo an experimental treatment to remove memories of each other from their brains. A wrinkle in the procedure results in Joel’s realization that erasing his pain also means forgetting the joy and happiness he shared with her.
Ariana Grande’s Eternal Sunshine takes the first part of that narrative as its inspiration, perhaps not recognizing that it’s the second bit that makes Michel Gondry’s 2014 film, the title of which was inspired by Alexander Pope’s poem “Eloisa to Abelard,” such a devastating cautionary tale. “Now I’m in my head, wonderin’ how it ends…I try to wipe my mind just so I feel less insane,” Grande sings on the title track, directly invoking the film’s plot but only vaguely acknowledging that some memories are irreversible.

Ariana Grande’s seventh album begins with a question she spends the rest of the album trying to answer: “How can I tell if I’m in the right relationship?” Five years ago, on her landmark album on Thank U, Next, it seemed certain that she would have that question figured out by now; in the bridge of that album’s title track, she sang about hoping that when she would eventually walk down the aisle it would be her first and last time.

The Broadway revival of Monty Python’s Spamalot will play its final performance on Sunday, April 7, completing a 24-week run at the St. James Theatre.
The production, which opened to favorable critical notices, failed to attract the strong audience figures that the original 2005 production drew. Last week, the production grossed just $589,970, with attendance at about 59% of the St. James’ capacity.
Sources tell Deadline that cost-cutting measures attempted in recent weeks have made little significant impact on the bottom line.
The revival opened on Thursday, November 16, 2023. A national tour is set to launch in fall of 2025.
“I am so proud of the entire cast, creative team, musicians and crew for their hard work and for delivering the highest level of joy and laughter back on Broadway when we need this more than ever,” said producer Jeffrey Finn. “I’m also honored to continue the long legacy of Kennedy Center productions transferring...

Thanks to the generation-defying success of "Star Wars" and the obsessive passionate fanbase that followed, no stone has gone unturned in documenting the making of George Lucas' epic, fantastical space opera. Whether it's acknowledging how Lucas revived a 1950s form of filmmaking technology to pull off the effects or how Freddy Krueger himself, Robert Englund, helped Mark Hamill land the role of Luke Skywalker, you don't have to be a film historian to put together a timeline of how "Star Wars" came to be. As impressive as it is to hear all about the technical mastery that went into making spaceships, planets, alien creatures, and the iconic costume designs, there's also a lot of fun to be had to learn about the backstage hijinks the cast and crew got into.
Like the time Biggs Darklighter, Luke Skywalker, and Laze "Fixer" Loneozner went on an unsanctioned horse riding adventure.

Ariana Grande reflected on how tabloid attention affects audience’s perception of celebrities, saying that a story’s believability often depends on preconceived approval of public figures.
“We selectively remember that this is what the tabloids do to people, especially women, based on whether or not we like the person,” Grande said during an appearance on the Zach Sang Show on the Amazon Music channel of Twitch.
“We selectively leave space for humanness, for nuance,” she continued, adding that readers of tabloids “don’t leave space for that.”
Grande, who will release her seventh album — Eternal Sunshine — next week, then specified her reflection, saying that readers will leave space for humanness “for their friends and family,” but that “they turn it off when that aligns with the version of a person that they have in their head that they want to believe is true.”

Ariana Grande has built such a mighty pop legacy over the past decade as one of the most consistently kicky hitmakers around — but also as one of the weirdest minds in the game. “Yes, And?” is her Number One comeback, a disco rage-queen anthem that raises expectations for her long-awaited return, Eternal Sunshine. It’s a brilliantly nasty manifesto to kick off the new Ariana era. She’s just hit her thirties, wrapping up her Saturn return, and she’s making music after a four-year layoff. But she’s got...

Wicked is a musical. It is, in fact, a hugely successful, award-winning, long-running stage show crammed full of memorable tunes. But you might not suspect that from this first look at the film version (or at least the first part), which like Mean Girls, The Color Purple and even Wonka before it, is promoted in such a way as to almost completely hide that. Still, this initial footage from John M. Chu's adaptation certainly has some magic to it…
Drawing from the show, which itself adapts Gregory Maguire's novel, Wicked is the untold story of the witches from The Wizard Of Oz. Here, we learn that Elphaba isn't the villain the movie makes her out to be. And Glinda (the seemingly perfect Good Witch here embodied by Ariana Grande)? Not as perfect as she appears.

Ding dong! The wicked witch is alive and well in the first trailer for “Wicked.”
Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande are a vision in green and pink as they grace the fantastical land of Oz in Jon M. Chu’s upcoming movie musical. And the first look at the film, which debuted during the Super Bowl on Sunday, unfolds to the familiar strains of “Defying Gravity,” the show’s signature anthem.
“Don’t be afraid,” Grande’s Glinda reassures Erivo’s Elphaba.
“I’m not afraid,” Erivo responds, steely voiced. “It’s the Wizard who should be afraid of me.”
This is clearly a different Oz than the one that Dorthy Gale encountered. Based on Gregory Maguire’s novel that inspired Broadway’s acclaimed musical of the same name, “Wicked” precedes Dorothy’s arrival in the magical world and tells the legend of world and the story behind Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West.
