In new releases from PGGB Members and Partners this week, we're highlighting one of the most beloved and enduring musicals on the stage, after two decades Wicked makes its long-awaited journey to the big screen as a spectacular two-part cinematic event.
The film's first instalment of the epic fantasy musical, out today, reveals the untold story of the witches of Oz. Starring Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba, a young woman misunderstood because of her green skin, who has yet to discover her true power, and Ariana Grande as Glinda, a popular young woman, gilded by privilege and ambition, who has yet to discover her true heart.
New Disney+ series Say Nothing is a gripping story of murder and memory in Northern Ireland during The Troubles. Spanning four decades, the series begins with the shocking disappearance of a single mother of ten who was abducted from her home in 1972 and never seen alive again.
Following various Irish Republican Army (IRA) members, it explores the extremes some people will go to in the name of their beliefs.
