"Don’t worry, we still have a year and half to show you our colors!"
If you're out of the loop, the adaptation of the Broadway hit will be a tad different than what we're used to. Starring Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba and Ariana Grande as Glinda, it'll actually be in two parts — with part one hitting theaters one billion years in the future (Nov. 27, 2024).
Over on Instagram, Ariana shared the first picture of her as Glinda:
And Cynthia followed suit with her as the Wicked Witch herself, Elphaba:
Director Jon M. Chu continued the hype by adding, "You weren’t told the whole story. What happens when you veer off the Yellow Brick Road?"

"I’ve already been changed for good by these two women…" he continued. "They will lift ur spirits, break ur heart and leave you speechless with their voices. So excited to introduce you into our world…SO much more to come."
I’ve already been changed for good by these two women… #CynthiaErivo & #ArianaGrande as the Witches of Oz. They will lift ur spirits, break ur heart and leave you speechless with their voices. So excited to introduce you into our world… SO much more to come…… https://t.co/zQbIOzKNwY
Plenty of folks — including lots of famous faces — were tremendously excited by the photos:
The original Broadway Glinda, Kristen Chenoweth, even voiced her support:
Shame. I was excited for this but they don’t have a lighting budget. This is really infuriating. LIGHT YOUR ENTERTAINMENT SO IT CAN BE SEEN. https://t.co/k7kGq0uf6i
To the point where Jon himself hopped back in:
