London's Leicester Square is set for a magical transformation this evening as it hosts the UK premiere of the highly anticipated film, Wicked: For Good.
The cinematic event, taking over the heart of the city's cinema district, will see a constellation of stars, including Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande, and Jonathan Bailey, walk the emerald-hued red carpet.
Premiere Time and How to Watch the Live Stream
The glamorous event is scheduled to begin at 5:30 PM at the Odeon Luxe in Leicester Square. For fans unable to secure a spot amidst the excitement, the entire spectacle will be broadcast live via an official YouTube stream.
If the schedule mirrors last year's festivities, the A-list cast is expected to grace the red carpet from approximately 5:45 PM, engaging in interviews and greeting spectators. The global live stream is anticipated to attract a massive international audience, with numerous American influencers already announcing they have set their alarms to tune in.
Leicester Square Transformed into the Emerald City
In a fitting tribute to the film, Leicester Square has been spectacularly redecorated to resemble the iconic Emerald City. Photos circulating online showcase enormous billboards and a magical backdrop, complete with plenty of bubbles to set the scene for the musical extravaganza.
The premiere follows a reunion last night between co-stars Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo at the exclusive Soho House members' club in central London, building anticipation for tonight's main event.
Wicked: For Good continues the epic story, following the dramatic aftermath of Elphaba's confrontation with the Wizard. The narrative finds Glinda as a powerful public figure while Elphaba remains on the run. The film features beloved musical numbers such as 'For Good', 'Wonderful', and 'As Long As You're Mine'.
Mark your calendars, as the film is set to cast its spell on UK cinemas nationwide from 21st November.
