Original Wicked stars pose with Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo at LA premiere
The original stars of the musical Wicked have reunited to join Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo for the Los Angeles premiere of the film version.
Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth, who starred as witches Elphaba and Glinda respectively when the Broadway musical opened in 2003 joined the film’s leads on the black carpet on Saturday night.
British actress Erivo and US pop star Grande both wore their characters’ signature colours while Bridgerton’s Jonathan Bailey, who plays roguish prince Fiyero, donned ruby red slippers in a nod to Dorothy from the original 1939 Wizard Of Oz film to which Wicked is a prequel.
Dangerous Woman singer Grande, who plays Glinda, wore a pink gingham 1950s-inspired drop-waisted dress with a shoulder capelet and white gloves.
She completed the outfit with a dewy makeup look, pearl earrings and sparkly, rhinestone-encrusted heels.
As well as his ruby slippers, Bailey, 36, wore white trousers and a silver shirt, with a red poppy pinned to his chest in recognition of Remembrance Sunday.
Also at the premiere was US singer Jennifer Lopez who wore a beaded dress with gold and pink accents.
Wicked is coming to cinemas on November 22 with part two scheduled for November 2025.
