by

As a seasoned gamer and musical enthusiast who has spent countless hours immersed in both virtual worlds and Broadway’s most enchanting tales, I must admit that my anticipation for the 2024 Wicked movie is reaching epic proportions! The prospect of witnessing this captivating story unfold on the silver screen, with a runtime nearly as long as some of my favorite RPG adventures, has me both excited and slightly anxious about managing my snack breaks.

The 2024 “Wicked” movie is expected to run about the same length as the Broadway production, despite being based on just the initial portion of the narrative.

I’m absolutely thrilled to share that I’ll be able to catch “Wicked” on the big screen this November! Kudos to Jon M. Chu for directing this one, marking the start of a two-part film adaptation of the beloved stage musical by Stephen Schwartz and Winnie Holzman with the same name. Can’t wait to see it unfold!

What is the runtime for 2024’s Wicked?

Based on information from Fandango and AMC Theatres’ website, the running time for Wicked is approximately 2 hours and 40 minutes.

The runtime for the Wicked musical is approximately 2 hours and 45 minutes, which includes a 15-minute intermission. It’s not clear how long the runtime for Wicked Part Two, which will be released in November 2025, will be at this time.

The synopsis for Wicked describes a tale that delves into the untold backgrounds of the witches of Oz. Notable actress Cynthia Erivo, known for her Emmy, Grammy, and Tony awards, portrays Elphaba, a young green-skinned woman who is often misunderstood and has yet to uncover her hidden power. On the other hand, Ariana Grande, a multiple Grammy winner and worldwide music sensation, takes on the role of Glinda, a popular yet privileged young woman who is still learning about compassion. Their friendship blossoms at Shiz University in the magical realm of Oz, where they form an unexpected bond. After meeting The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, their relationship encounters a crucial juncture, leading them down separate paths. Glinda’s relentless pursuit of popularity tempts her with power, while Elphaba’s unwavering commitment to staying true to herself and others results in shocking consequences for her future. Through their extraordinary experiences in Oz, they ultimately come to embody the roles we know as Glinda the Good Witch and the Wicked Witch of the West.

Wicked will be released in United States theaters on November 22, 2024.
