‘Wicked’ Movie Gets 2019 Release Date
The long-awaited “Wicked” movie adaptation will be released on Dec. 20, 2019, Universal announced on Thursday.
Stephen Daldry is directing and Marc Platt is producing the big-screen take on the hit Broadway musical and bestselling book. Both are also producing the long-running stage show.
The Tony Award-winning stage musical was adapted from Gregory Maguire’s bestselling novel, “Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West,” by book writer Winnie Holzman and Oscar-winning composer/lyricist Stephen Schwartz, who are also collaborating on the screenplay adaptation.
The original Broadway production about the untold story of the witches of Oz starred Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenoweth. The show — now in its 13th year — has won three Tonys. It’s the 10th longest-running Broadway play of all time and has grossed more than $1 billion at the box office.
The play is an alternative telling of the 1939 classic movie “The Wizard of Oz,” which was based on L. Frank Baum’s 1900 story of the same name.
Universal’s “Mamma Mia” is the highest-grossing Broadway musical-to-movie adaptation of all time. It earned $609.8 million worldwide in 2008.

Joel Grey Comes Out: 'Cabaret' Star Says 'I'm A Gay Man' At Age 82
Broadway legend and Oscar-winning "Cabaret" star Joel Grey opens up about his sexuality in a new interview with People magazine, telling the publication: "I'm a gay man."
Although the 82-year-old actor says he doesn't like labels, Grey says he "came to realize, along with being attracted to girls, I had similar feelings for boys" when he was growing up in Cleveland, Ohio. Still, he recalls a time when he overheard "the grownups talk in the next room, my mother included, talking derisively about 'fairies' and men being dragged off to jail and even worse for being who they were."
Grey says his sexuality is not a secret to friends and family, but that "it took time to embrace that other part of who I always was."
Grey was married to actress Jo Wilder for 24 years, and is father to "Dirty Dancing" star Jennifer Grey and his son James, who is a chef. He and Wilder divorced in 1982.
Jennifer Grey tells People that she is "very happy" that her father "has come to a point in his life where he feels safe and comfortable enough to declare himself in a public way as a gay man."
The actor nabbed a Tony Award in 1966 for originating the role of the Emcee in the musical "Cabaret," and picked up an Oscar for the same role in 1973 in the film version, which starred Liza Minnelli.
He's continued to focus on stage work in recent years, with roles in the 1997 revival of "Chicago," "Wicked" and "Anything Goes." He also directed the Tony-winning Broadway production of Larry Kramer's "The Normal Heart" in 2011.
