Tonight’s premiere is a homecoming for Cynthia Erivo who was born and raised in London.

It is also a special return for the cast and crew, as Wicked was filmed across the UK, most notably at the new Sky Studios Elstree in Borehamwood, near London.

Wicked premieres have taken place across the globe in LA, Mexico, and Sydney. Each has adopted a different theme linked to the movie.

Tonight’s premiere will be themed around Emerald City, the capital of Oz.

We can’t wait to see the outfits and who walks the green carpet. We’ll be bringing you all the latest on London World.
