Cynthia Erivo learns that defying gravity and authority can brand you Wicked in this first movie installment of the hit Broadway musical. Should Elphaba accept that her green skin and pointy black hat will never make her as popular with heartthrob Jonathan Bailey (Bridgerton) as diva Ariana Grande?  And how did this witch go from being the star pupil of Michelle Yeoh (Star Trek: Section 31) to getting cancelled by caddish wizard Jeff Goldblum (The Fly)?  Find out if Arnie, Brock, and Stuart are in step with director Jon M Chu’s revisionist take on The Land of Oz when you Follow the Gold Level Road.
