Wicked has added 'SpongeBob SquarePants: The Musical' star Ethan Slater.
Tony-nominated and ultra-popular actor Ethan Slater danced through life and right into nailing his audition for the upcoming Universal telling of Wicked. SpongeBob SquarePants: The Musical star has nabbed the role of Boq in the theatrical adaptation of the critically acclaimed musical according to a report from Variety. For those who may need a refresher, Boq is the apple of Nessarose’s eye.
While Nessarose’s part has yet to be cast, we do know that her sister, Elphaba aka The Wicked Witch of the West will be played by Cynthia Erivo with Ariana Grande as Glinda and Jonathan Bailey as Fiyero. With the main cast all but filled out, many are wondering if the rumors surrounding Jeff Goldblum’s possible take on the Wizard will pan out as expected. Crazy Rich Asians and In the Heights director Jon M. Chu will back the feature, adding another Broadway hit to his filmmaking repertoire.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Defying gravity since 2003, Stephen Schwartz’s Tony and Grammy Award-winning musical Wicked has been an absolute fan favorite since the first note of the overture was played almost two decades ago. The tale acts as a prequel to the classic story of The Wizard of Oz and gives a background to many of the characters Dorothy meets on her journey down the yellow brick road.
As for Wicked, the production is being broken into two halves with the first set to land in theaters around Christmas 2024 and the second to drop later in 2025. Check out a trailer for the Broadway production of Wicked below.
