London's Leicester Square underwent a magical transformation on Monday, 10th November 2025, becoming the Emerald City for the highly anticipated European premiere of Wicked: For Good.
The event, held at Cineworld London Leicester Square, saw the iconic square decorated in emerald green, with the traditional red carpet replaced by a vibrant yellow brick road, creating a spectacular homecoming for the film's cast and crew.
A Full Circle Moment in London
Director John M. Chu described the premiere as a "full circle moment" for the production. Both installments of the Wicked film series were shot in London, making the city a significant location for the cast and filmmakers.
Jonathan Bailey, recently named People's Sexiest Man, echoed this sentiment, celebrating the "incredible British talent behind the making of the films... many of whom are from London." He expressed that playing the role of Prince Fiyero was "the honour of a lifetime."
Stars Shine on the Yellow Brick Road
The yellow brick road was graced by the film's leading ladies, Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, who once again showcased their close friendship. Their outfits featured immense attention to detail, delighting fans and photographers alike.
The cast spent considerable time interacting with the enthusiastic crowd of Wicked fans gathered in Leicester Square, happily signing autographs and posing for selfies.
Celebrity Guests and Show-Stopping Fashion
The premiere attracted a host of British celebrities, adding to the glamour of the evening. Television presenter Amanda Holden and musician Myleene Klass were among the notable attendees, with Klass in particular turning heads in what was described as a killer outfit.
The event successfully blended cinematic spectacle with a genuine celebration of the film's deep connections to its London home, marking a triumphant return for Wicked: For Good.
