ABOUT WICKED
After two decades as one of the most beloved and enduring musicals on the stage, Wicked makes its long-awaited journey to the big screen as a spectacular, generation-defining cinematic event this holiday season. Wicked flies into theaters November 22, 2024.

Wicked, the untold story of the witches of Oz, stars Emmy, Grammy and Tony winning powerhouse Cynthia Erivo (Harriet, Broadway's The Color Purple) as Elphaba, a young woman, misunderstood because of her unusual green skin, who has yet to discover her true power, and Grammy-winning, multi-platinum recording artist and global superstar Ariana Grande as Glinda, a popular young woman, gilded by privilege and ambition, who has yet to discover her true heart.

The two meet as students at Shiz University in the fantastical Land of Oz and forge an unlikely but profound friendship. Following an encounter with The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, their friendship reaches a crossroads and their lives take very different paths. Glinda's unflinching desire for popularity sees her seduced by power, while Elphaba's determination to remain true to herself, and to those around her, will have unexpected and shocking consequences on her future. Their extraordinary adventures in Oz will ultimately see them fulfill their destinies as Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.

The film also stars Oscar® winner Michelle Yeoh as Shiz University's regal headmistress Madame Morrible; Jonathan Bailey (Bridgerton, Fellow Travelers) as Fiyero, a roguish and carefree prince; Tony nominee Ethan Slater (Broadway's Spongebob Squarepants, Fosse/Verdon) as Boq, an altruistic Munchkin student; Marissa Bode in her feature-film debut as Nessarose, Elphaba's favored sister; and pop culture icon Jeff Goldblum as the legendary Wizard of Oz.

The cast of characters includes Pfannee and ShenShen, two conniving compatriots of Glinda played by Emmy nominee Bowen Yang (Saturday Night Live) and Bronwyn James (Harlots), and a new character created for the film, Miss Coddle, played by Tony nominee Keala Settle (The Greatest Showman). 

Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Jon M. Chu (Crazy Rich Asians, In the Heights), Wicked is the first chapter of a two-part immersive, cultural celebration. Wicked Part Two is scheduled to arrive in theaters on November 21, 2025.

Wicked is produced by Marc Platt (La La Land, The Little Mermaid), whose films, television shows and stage productions have earned a combined 46 Oscar® nominations, 58 Emmy nominations and 36 Tony nominations, and by multiple Tony winner David Stone (Kimberly Akimbo, Next to Normal), with whom Platt produced the blockbuster Wicked stage musical. The executive producers are David Nicksay, Stephen Schwartz and Jared LeBoff. 

Based on the bestselling novel by Gregory Maguire, Wicked is adapted for the screen by the stage production's book writer Winnie Holzman and by legendary Grammy and Oscar® winning composer and lyricist Stephen Schwartz. The Broadway stage musical is produced by Universal Stage Productions, Marc Platt, the Araca Group, Jon B. Platt and David Stone.

Infantino Introduces Trendy 'My 1st Tumbler' for Toddlers

Infantino, a leading baby and parenting lifestyle brand, proudly debuts My 1st Tumbler, a first-to-market tumbler invented specifically for babies and toddlers. The adorable 9-ounce tumbler is perfectly sized for tiny hands and thoughtfully designed to be a safe, trendy and affordable option for little ones as they learn to drink independently.

 


Merging style and practicality, this tiny tumbler promises to make everyday hydration both fun and functional with an easy-to-grasp handle for convenient carrying and a versatile size that fits most strollers and car seat cup holders.

My 1st Tumbler will be available at additional retailers Meijer and Indigo Oct. 1 and Walmart stores Nov. 1.

Inspired by the wave of tumblers transforming hydration habits, Infantino introduced My 1st Tumbler to let little ones join in on the trend. Rooted in the idea that babies learn best by imitation, this tumbler invites babies and toddlers to enjoy their first precious sips of baby-friendly beverages—such as water, juice and even warm milk—mimicking the grown-ups in their lives while fostering early learning and independence.

"We wanted to design a household staple with My 1st Tumbler," said Gretchen Tyker, Chief Commercial Officer at Infantino. "We noticed that everyone had a tumbler to help them stay hydrated, and thought little ones should be no exception. Our goal was to create a safe tumbler that helps babies learn to drink while letting them join in the fun. With features like a leak-resistant straw and easy-to-clean components, My 1st Tumbler is a testament to our dedication to making parenting easier and more enjoyable."

  • Leak-Resistant Straw: Equipped with a soft silicone tip and a smart valve, the straw provides a consistent liquid flow while preventing spills—even when the tumbler is turned upside down.

  • Easy-to-Hold Handle: The tumbler features an ergonomic handle that is perfect for little ones to carry around. It is lightweight and fits seamlessly into most stroller and car seat cup holders, making it an ideal companion for playtime and outings.
  • Effortless Cleaning: Simplify your cleaning routine with components that are easy to separate. The My 1st Tumbler can be washed with warm, soapy water or placed on the top rack of your dishwasher, saving you time and effort.
