First Wicked Movie Trailer Drops During Super Bowl 58 — WATCH

Musical theater fans scored a personal touchdown during Sunday’s Super Bowl with a surprise drop of the first trailer for Universal’s upcoming Wicked movie.

Based on Gregory Maguire’s 1995 novel of the same name, Wicked serves as a prequel to The Wizard of Oz, explaining how Elphaba, the “Wicked Witch,” and Glinda, the “Good Witch,” went from being best friends at Shiz University to bitter rivals in the Emerald City. The musical premiered on Broadway in June 2003, winning three Tony Awards.
