Good news! It looks like the Wicked adaptation has found its prince. It was announced that Bridgerton star Jonathan Bailey is in talks to portray the handsome and carefree prince Fiyero in the upcoming adaptation of the smash hit Broadway musical. He will star alongside Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba and Ariana Grande as Glinda.
Bailey is a veteran stage actor, first appearing in the RSC's production of A Christmas Carol as a child, and soon after making his West End debut in Les Misérables as Gavroche. Most recently, he starred in Cock at London's Ambassadors Theatre.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Though he appeared in the first two seasons, and is confirmed to appear in the third, which is filming now, it was in Season 2 that Bailey took center stage as the male lead for the season's primary romance, opposite Simone Ashley's Kate Sharma. Though many, myself included, felt Season 2 lingered a touch too long on the love triangle between Anthony, Kate, and her sister Edwina , his chemistry with Ashley was undeniably one of the highlights of the season.
Wicked Part One is expected to release in December 2024, with Part Two following in December 2025. In the meantime, check out original Broadway cast members Norbert Leo Butz and Idina Menzel singing Fiyero and Elphaba's duet, "As Long As You're Mine" below:
