Wicked Premiere Sparks Excitement in Mexico City

At the highly anticipated premiere of "Wicked" in Mexico, Marissa Bode takes on the role of Nessarose, the sister of Elphaba, while Jeff Goldblum plays the legendary Wizard of Oz. Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo are set to walk the red carpet at the National Auditorium for this much-anticipated event.

Fans gathered outside the Coloso de Reforma to secure a good spot during the premiere. As the afternoon of November 11 progressed, both the number of followers and the excitement increased, leading to a small security breach. In a viral video on social media, a crowd is seen running to get a front-row spot.

The plot of "Wicked" serves as a prequel to "The Wizard of Oz," following the story of Elphaba and Glinda as they are students at Shiz University in the wonderful Land of Oz. Despite their initial differences, these two women develop a deep friendship that will be challenged after their encounter with the Wonderful Wizard of Oz. The film, directed by Jon M. Chu, features performances by Michelle Yeoh as Madame Morrible, the headmistress of Shiz University.

According to the premiere schedule at the National Auditorium, the red carpet will include the participation of content creators, voice talent, and international talent at various times before the film screening. Access will be exclusively with a ticket.

The movie "Wicked" is inspired by the successful musical created by Winnie Holzman and Stephen Schwartz, based on the book by Gregory Maguire. Jonathan Bailey plays Fiyero and Ethan Slater brings Boq to life in this exciting feature film.
