Theater owners attending Universal's presentation in Las Vegas are the first members of the public to get a glimpse of the continuing story of the Witches of Oz.

When Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo and director Jon M. Chu took the stage in Las Vegas last April to tease “Wicked” months before its theatrical release, there was a cautious optimism that the long-anticipated film would be a hit.

At CinemaCon 2025, the much-awaited follow-up to last year’s huge hit, Wicked, was the main attraction. Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, who are playing Glinda and Elphaba again, gave fans their first look at Wicked: For Good during Universal Pictures’ event at Caesars Palace.
