Deckchair fundraiser: Wicked
July 13 @ 5:45 pm - 9:30 pm
Come on down and support Darwin Fringe Festival with their Deckchair Cinema Fundraiser screening of Wicked. Gates from 5:45pm with dinner available thanks to Yogi’s Way and a cake stall plus the confectionary counter and bar will be open.
Step into the enchanting world of Oz with Wicked, directed by Jon M. Chu. This musical adaptation brings to life the untold story of Elphaba and Glinda, two young women whose unexpected friendship defies societal norms and challenges the very fabric of their world.
Cynthia Erivo portrays Elphaba, a passionate and misunderstood young woman with emerald-green skin, while Ariana Grande embodies Glinda, the ambitious and popular counterpart. Their journey from rivalry to deep friendship unfolds against a backdrop of political intrigue and magical wonders.
The film’s rich storytelling is complemented by its stunning visuals and a score that resonates with both longtime fans and newcomers. Supporting performances by Jonathan Bailey, Michelle Yeoh, and Jeff Goldblum add depth to this multifaceted narrative.
Wicked not only redefines a classic tale but also invites audiences to reflect on themes of acceptance, identity, and the true nature of good and evil.
We will be doing prize packs for the best dressed Green and Pink looks to match the Fringe theme.
