Broadway and LEGO are set to be joining forces in a surprising brand-new LEGO theme for 2024. 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.
2024 has already seen the release of one brand new LEGO theme of LEGO Animal Crossing but LEGO Wicked is set to be the second. 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.
The highly anticipated film comes out later this year on the 27th of November 2024 - just under two months before these four LEGO sets. 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 will be 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 $90. These seem fairly reasonable but we are still unaware of the corresponding piece counts or what will be included in each set. However, we can roughly guess that the most iconic locations in both the musical and the film will appear in brick-built form along with plenty of exclusive LEGO Minifigures.
