For weeks we’ve been reporting on the upcoming Wicked UK premiere with very little detail.

So far we know it will be in London, it will take place on Monday, November 18th and there will be lots of pink and green.

However what we don’t know for sure, is where the London Wicked premiere will take place.

Universal Studios is yet to confirm the location, leaving fans in the dark about where the hotly anticipated premiere will happen in the capital.

There are a few places rumoured to be on the shortlist for the premiere’s location.

Cineworld, Leicester Square

There’s Cineworld in Leicester Square, a popular location for many blockbuster hits including the Barbie Movie which was arguably the last time we saw movie-fever sweep the city on this scale.

Royal Festival Hall, Southbank

We’ve also heard rumours about the premiere being held at Royal Festival Hall in Southbank. This is being transformed into Emerald City for movie promo.

ODEON, Leicester Square

A third floated location is the ODEON, also in Leicester Square. Over the years the ODEON has hosted premieres for The Lion King, Mary Poppins Returns, Aladdin, and Top Gun: Maverick.

Earlier this year ODEON, ran a ticket giveaway for the chance to attend the Wicked premiere, so this feels like a winning bet.

Ari and Cynthia take LDN

Last month Elphaba and Glinda actresses Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande revealed they are heading to London as part of a global tour in honour of the upcoming Wicked movie.

Their visit aims to bring a bit of wickedness to our capital city as they bring a slice of the world of OZ to London.

Unfortunately, this didn’t shed any light on where the premiere would take place, as the actresses remain tight-lipped about the location.

Wherever the premiere is held, we’re certain it is going to very popular!
