Watch: The Full 'Wicked' Trailer Featuring Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo is Finally Here

Get ready, witches! The moment gays around the world have been waiting for is here, and it looks divine.

As reported by The Hollywood Reporter, Universal Pictures has released its first full trailer for the upcoming film adaptation of the Broadway musical "Wicked."

Ariana Grande stars as Glinda and Cynthia Erivo stars as Elphaba in what is sure to be a camp classic. The film centers on Elphaba's relationship with Glinda leading up to Dorothy's arrival in the Land of Oz, and who ends up the "good" witch and who becomes the "bad" witch.

In the trailer, Glinda encourages Elphaba not be afraid, and she responds with an edge, saying, "I'm not afraid. It's the Wizard who should be afraid of me."

Juicy, and perfectly delivered by Erivo.

Just as the film will adapt the Tony-winning Broadway musical of the same name, the story behind the Broadway musical is adapted from author Gregory Maguire's 1995 book, "Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West." And, of course, all of the characters originate in L. Frank Baum's 1900 novel, "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz."

In addition to Grande and Erivo, the cast also includes Michelle Yeoh, Jonathan Bailey, Ethan Slater, Jeff Goldblum, and "SNL's" Bowen Yang.

"We dreamed very, very, very big for 'Wicked'," director Jon M. Chu told a CinemaCon last month in Las Vegas. "A magical land of sights and sounds that will astonish, and performances that will lift your spirits and occasionally break your heart."

Look for "Wicked" to hit theaters Nov. 27. Until then, clap your heels together for the full trailer below.
