Vanity Fair is welcoming us to the wonderful world of Oz.
As we all count down to the premiere of the highly-anticipated Wicked movie musical later this year, we’ve gotten our best look yet at the characters of the movie thanks to a gorgeous photoshoot in Vanity Fair.
The portraits include Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo, Jonathan Bailey, Michelle Yeoh, Ethan Slater, Bowen Yang, Jeff Goldblum, Marissa Bode, and Bronwyn James, all in full costume, hair, and makeup as their Wicked characters.When creating the world of Oz for #Wicked, director Jon M. Chu was against utilizing excessive CGI.

The large group image shows Bailey as Fiyero, Bode as Nessarose, Slater as Boq, Erivo as Elphaba, Grande as Glinda, You as Madame Morrible, Goldblum as the Wizard, Yang as Pfannee, and James as ShenShen.
Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo insisted on singing live when filming #Wicked, says director Jon M. Chu.

There’s also a solo pic of Bailey as Fiyero, who is Elphaba’s love interest and a former prince. In the photo he’s riding a black horse, looking very dashing.
Another picture shows some of the students at Shiz University in a classroom with chalkboards and books all around. These students include Nessarose, the younger sister of Elphaba, Boq, Nessarose’s love interest, and Galinda’s friends Pfannee (who was a woman in the original musical and is being played by Yang in the movie) and Shenshen.
The Wizard also gets his own solo shot, showing him decked out in all green sitting in a large throne. He also shares a photo with the headmistress of Crage Hall at Shiz University. She also gets a glamor shot, wearing a gorgeous blue gown and holding a large book.
Starring Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba and Ariana Grande as Glinda, fans worldwide have waited over 20 years for the #Wicked musical to be adapted for the screen.
