Galinda's chaperone, Ama Clutch, witnessed the murder, but is magically made ill and unable to tell the story. Elphaba is drawn to his politics until Doctor Dillamond is murdered just before making an important discovery. One of Elphaba's mentors at Shiz is Doctor Dillamond, a Goat (in Oz, Animals-capitalized-are sentient members of society) involved in the Animal Rights movement.
Elphaba also meets Boq, a Munchkinlander in love with Galinda, and Fiyero, a shy Vinkus prince, and the four spend time together both inside and outside of school.
They hate each other initially, but eventually develop a friendship. She is forced to room with Galinda, a beautiful, talented, well-to-do classmate. Then, Elphaba attends Shiz University at seventeen to begin her education. It starts production next summer, so we have at least a year to wait-probably longer.The book begins with Elphaba's birth, describing her family and childhood. So we’re optimistic that, upon its release, this film will be defying.recent trends When does it come out? After all, it’s based on a musical that’s based on a book that’s based on a film that’s based on a book-this adaptation has seen it all, format-wise, and stayed great.
Nevertheless, there’s good reason to think Wicked as a film will work particularly well. Same with the wildly popular musical Dear Evan Hanson, which was also recently adapted into a much-maligned (though, I would argue, wrongfully maligned!) film, despite the musical’s originators serving as executive producers. That said, who knows! Andrew Lloyd Webber helped with the Cats movie too, and we know how well that went. The fact that Schwartz and Holzman will be writing the adaptation is great news, because it means that any changes will be handled by the people who first adapted Wicked and should therefore feel “in keeping” with the show’s vision. Will there be any big differences between the musical and the movie? Chu would direct-he recently directed the adaptation of In the Heights, which fared better than Cats but still doesn’t show a great trend for Hollywood musicals, tbh-with Schwartz and Holzman adapting the screenplay. In early 2021, the production announced John M. Which, fair! Cats, which ended up in the release date vacated by the would-be Wicked adaptation, was such an absolute trainwreck of a film that it caused the musical’s writer Andrew Lloyd Webber to have to get a therapy dog. By 2016, production was aiming for a 2019 release, but then a couple things happened: First, scheduling got wonky, as it tends to with pictures that have been in the pipeline for awhile and second, Cats came out and made everyone doubt the wisdom of even trying to bring beloved musicals to the big screen. In 2012, Universal announced it was going to make the movie with Stephen Daldry directing, according to Polygon. It’s been a surprisingly long road to the Wicked onto the big screen.
