Wicked
A determined green-skinned sorceress battles prejudice and a haunting family secret as she strives to confront the Wizard who holds the power to grant her desperate wish.
“Everyone deserves the chance to fly.”
Synopsis
In the land of Oz, the ostracized and misunderstood green-skinned Elphaba is forced to share a room with the popular aristocrat Glinda at Shiz University, and the two encounter a series of events that challenge their perceptions of each other and the world around them.

Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.

💰 Box-office hit — grossed 5.1× its budget
Why 2.5×?
Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).

Hannah Waddingham on Career Growth and New Projects
Hannah Waddingham reflects on how a negative review in 2000 helped propel her career forward.

She has since taken on diverse roles, including Madame Morrible in 'Wicked' and a new action series called 'Ride or Die.' Waddingham also discusses returning to the role of Rebecca Welton in 'Ted Lasso' and the impact it has had on her.
