Of course, the film is based on the second act of the hugely popular stage musical, with Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande reprising their roles as Elphaba and Glinda and the action coinciding with the events of the Wizard of Oz.
"I could write you an essay, a poem, Shakespearean prose, to describe what this journey has meant to me, what lessons this time has taught me, bought me," Erivo wrote in a lengthy caption to a post on her Instagram page, which she signed off: "Thank you for letting me be your Elphaba."
Meanwhile, Grande wrote: "Thank you, my sweet Glinda, for everything. I will love you always ... Wicked For Good is out now."
