Wicked Movie
Universal

Wicked hasn’t been out for long, but it already seems to be both a box-office hit and an awards contender. That’s a very high bar to clear, even for a movie that was expected to be successful, such as this one. The movie is, after all, only the first part of the adaptation of the award-winning musical Wicked, with Part 2 already set for release—next November.

The musical focuses on the unlikely friendship between Glinda (Ariana Grande) and Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo) as the two attend Shiz University, long before Dorothy ever arrived in Oz. Those familiar with the story will recognize those names from The Wizard of Oz, as Elphaba, will go on to become the Wicked Witch of the West, and Glinda, will become Glinda the Good Witch.

Also starring in the movie are Jonathan Bailey, Michelle Yeoh, Jeff Goldblum, Peter Dinklage, and Bowen Yang, among others.

With so much of the movie tied to the Oz lore, fans can’t help but wonder if Wicked has any Easter Eggs we should be aware of. Are there major callbacks to The Wizard of Oz? Here’s a list of the biggest ones we noticed.
