Ariana Grande & Cynthia Erivo Are Changed For Good In Very First 'Wicked' Trailer

Musical fans got their first real look at the Broadway adaptation on Super Bowl Sunday.

Something magical is brewing in the land of Oz.

The first trailer for the two-part Wicked  movie dropped on Sunday during the Super Bowl, meaning even musical fans had something to enjoy on game day.

Director Jon M. Chus vision of Oz comes to life in the one-minute preview, which stars a mean, green Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba and a perfectly pink Ariana Grande playing Glinda the Good Witch.

The enchanting trailer also includes a first listen of Tony winner Erivos rendition of Wickeds standout song, Defying Gravity, in addition to glimpses of Michelle Yeohs headmistress Madame Morrible and Jonathan Bailey as leading man Fiyero.

Broadway enthusiasts have been anxiously awaiting a film adaptation of Wicked since 2012, when Universal picked up the rights to the Wizard of Oz-inspired stage production.

People got their first look at lead witches Elphaba and Glinda last spring when director Chu shared the first photos of the characters.

Wicked: Part One soars into theaters this Thanksgiving, with a sequel planned for 2025.
