Like the proper musical theatre nerd I am, I naturally cried through the entirety of ‘Wicked’ when it was released in 2024.

I’ve loved the popular Broadway show for two decades now, and while I initially had my doubts about the movie adaptation, I was (happily) proved wrong.

So I was beyond excited to see the event that New Jersey’s own State Theatre is putting on this November, just in time for the sequel ‘Wicked: For Good’ to come out.

The venue is hosting a sing-along for fans of the movie (part one) to belt along with the incredible soundtrack.

Wicked, the untold story of the witches of Oz, stars Emmy, Grammy, and Tony-winning powerhouse Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba, a young woman misunderstood because of her unusual green skin who has yet to discover her true power.

And Grammy-winning and multi-platinum recording artist Ariana Grande as Glinda, a popular young woman gilded by privilege and ambition who has yet to discover her true heart.

Just a heads up, if you’re anywhere near me, you might want to brace yourself for when I get into ‘The Wizard and I’ Spoilers: it will get loud.

Transport yourself to dear old Shiz and dance through life at the State Theatre for the ‘Wicked’ sing-a-long on Nov. 23, starting at 1:00 p.m..
