Look up…

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s a Wicked drone show and it’s lighting up the skies of Dubai for one-night-only on Tuesday, November 19, 2024.

Taking place by the iconic Burj Khalifa in Downtown Dubai, the Wicked-themed drone show is set to take place from 7.25pm showcasing characters and scenes of the much-anticipated cinematic debut of the film.

Using 500 drones, we will see dazzling formations of Wicked’s beloved characters, Glinda and Elphaba, lighting up Dubai with a breathtaking show of lights and colours.

If seeing the movie is on your weekend plans, or if you’ve already got your tickets, this is an additional early treat you can’t miss.

What’s Wicked about?

Wicked still

The movie follows the story of Glinda – a pretty girl who is blond and very popular, and Elphaba, who has green skin, which means she is immediately judged.

The two dislike each other at first, but their relationship changes, and they soon form an unlikely bond following an encounter with the Wizard of Oz.

The movie stars Ariana Grande as Glinda, Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba, and Jeff Goldblum as The Wizard.
