Universal's Wicked, predicted to be one of this holiday season's biggest Box Office draws, was screened a month before its November 22nd release by Kim Kardashian and her family. How? Ariana Grande, who stars as Glinda the Good Witch, and Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba the Wicked Witch, set up a viewing party for the Kardashian-Jenners on October 22nd. The celebrity favorite Edgar Hay Events planned it out, giving a 'magical' night to remember.
"Look what Cynthia and Ariana set up for us. I’ve never been more excited!" Kim said in her Instagram Stories. of the night.
The kids were more than impressed, with the younger ones mesmerized from start to finish. Three of Kim's children, North, Chicago, and Psalm, were in attendance, as were Kourtney's daughter, Penelope Disick; Khloé's two kids, True and Tatum Thompson; Rob Kardashian's daughter, Dream, and Kylie Jenner's daughter, Stormi Webster.

Kim's home was transformed into a land of pink and green for the screening, with floral arrangements, posters, a green carpet, and balloons filling the entryway and her main foyer. For concessions to enjoy during the film, popcorn in themed bags, candy, and carbonated green and pink drinks were served. As a bonus, two cakes featured portraits of Grande and Erviro as their characters.
SKIMS provided the pink and green comfortable pajama sets and socks, which gave the party a sleepover theme and added comfort. Then, they all watched the movie on Kim's in-home theater screen, where Glinda and Elphaba came to life.
No party is complete without favors or gifts. Wicked-themed Barbie Dolls, Funko Pops figures, and Target-exclusive Bluetooth speakers were provided. As there were many, there was more than enough for each family member. This raises the question of what happens to the extras. Are they donated or given as gifts to those who weren't at Kim's?
Several charitable organizations would love to have the toys, especially during the holiday, as many aren't as fortunate and want to give something to their children. There's no judgment, but it'll be a nice gesture.
Kris took to Instagram on October 23rd, where she reveled about Wicked, quoting that it was "the best night ever" and that fans "are in for a special treat" when they see Wicked for the first time.

As a motion of gratitude and thanks, the Kardashia-Jenner family took a group photo with Grande and Erviro for their magical evening. They all stood in front of the movie's backdrop, where the witches are front and center.
"We laughed, we cried (a few times), and we loved it so much!" Kim said of the movie in the photo she uploaded to Instagram. "Thank you, @arianagrande and @cynthiaerivo, for watching @wickedmovie with us tonight...the most magical pajama party."
Wicked (Part 1) will be theatrically released on November 22nd. The second half is scheduled to be released next year.
