‘Wicked’ Footage Brings the House Down With Trailer of Cynthia Erivo Wearing the Wicked Witch’s Hat

Universal’s upcoming adaptation of the Broadway musical “Wicked” showcased some additional footage at this year’s CinemaCon in Las Vegas, bringing down the house with a first look at Cynthia Erivo donning the iconic hat of the Wicked Witch.

Erivo joined director Jon M. Chu and the film’s cast, including costar Ariana Grande, at the event.

“I never could have fathomed that I would have the opportunity to play the Wicked Witch,” Erivo said. “We have performed this song publicly and privately for many years, and now here we are together, getting the chance to perform these songs for an audience around the world.”
