Synopsis

The movie follows Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo), a gifted but ostracized young woman with green skin, and Glinda (Ariana Grande), a bubbly and ambitious socialite, as they navigate their time at Shiz University in the magical Land of Oz. What begins as a tentative friendship grows into a deeply complex relationship, tested by their contrasting ideologies and a life-altering encounter with the Wonderful Wizard of Oz (Jeff Goldblum).

The story balances its fantastical elements with poignant themes of prejudice, identity, and the moral ambiguity of power. The narrative’s emotional depth is heightened by the central friendship, which evolves from comedic clashes to a heartbreaking divergence.
