Watch: London rolls out the green carpet for tonight's Wicked premiere

Magical scenes are unfolding in Southbank as preparations for the Wicked premiere continue

Gather around musical theatre fans, tonight (November 18) is the night you have been waiting for... Yes, it is the UK premiere of Wicked.

Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande, Jonathan Bailey, Jeff Goldblum and Peter Dinklage are among the stars expected to walk the green carpet in Southbank tonight.

Many British personalities are also expected to don their glad rags for tonight’s event.

A first-look video shows people behind-the-scenes rolling out the green carpet for tonight’s premiere.

The green carpet has also been decorated with large floral displays and a large Wicked logo.

The theme of tonight’s event is Emerald City. We think this is appropriate given it is the capital of Oz.

Watch our video above to take a first look at preparations for tonight’s premiere.
