Wicked premiere's London location confirmed as Emerald City set up begins at Royal Hall in Southbank
Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo, Jeff Goldblum and Jonathan Bailey will walk the red carpet in at the Royal Festival Hall in London tonight.
London’s Southbank is undergoing a magical makeover, and it will turn into the capital of Oz for Wicked’s UK premiere tonight.
Ahead of the premiere this evening, the riverside spot has been taken over by the colour green as Southbank’s Royal Festival Hall becomes the Emerald city.
Of course, fans have already flocked to the area to see the spot take on its new green look and shared photos and videos on social media.
From a large-scale face of the wizard himself surrounded by sparkly green drapes to the gold and green aesthetics of the fictional city, the premiere spot is certainly coming together.
In October, Elphaba and Glinda actresses Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande teased that as part of a global tour they would bring a bit of wickedness to the city.
As part of the Journey Through Oz Tour the duo revealed they would be heading to Sydney, Los Angeles, Mexico City and New York as well as London.
London is the final destination on the premiere tour ahead of the film’s release this Friday, November 22.
