2024 has already seen the release of a couple of brand new themes but now LEGO and Broadway are joining forces for a brand new LEGO Wicked theme. Many films and games have seen their franchises turned into brick-built LEGO form, but never a musical before. Wicked will become the first LEGO theme to be based on Broadway talent yet it will also tie into the upcoming Wicked movie.
That's right, the iconic Westend musical Wicked will have its own LEGO theme starting on the 1st of October 2024. The musical was first performed over 20 years ago on the 10th of June 2003 but has continued to grow in popularity year on year. Wicked will become the first LEGO theme to be based on Broadway talent yet it will also tie into the upcoming Wicked movie.
The highly anticipated film comes out later this year on the 27th of November 2024 - just under two months before four LEGO-branded Wicked sets hit shelves. The film adaptation will be split into two parts due to the story's complexity and length. Part 1 is releasing this November with part 2 expected to release as early as 2025. This first wave of LEGO sets are based on Wicked Part 1 but we expect LEGO to also cover the second part of the adaptation.
As we've already mentioned, the LEGO Wicked theme will kick off with a total of four sets ranging from $30 to $100. But as official images have shown today, the LEGO Wicked theme will include minidolls rather than Minifigures. The two main characters of Elphaba and Glinda are obviously included in minidoll form along with side characters such as Nessarose, the Wizard, Madame Morrible and Fiyero.
