"Wicked: For Good" - (PG; 2 hours, 20 minutes) - "Wicked: For Good" raises the stakes and deepens the emotion, delivering a darker yet crowd-pleasing follow-up to the pop-culture phenomenon "Wicked." Directed once again by Jon M. Chu, this sequel is sharper and more focused than its predecessor, expanding the Broadway musical’s second act with dazzling visuals and powerful performances from Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande. Reprising their roles as Elphaba and Glinda, the duo brings new layers to a friendship tested by fear, propaganda, and the fight for what’s right. Now branded an enemy of Oz, Elphaba has become a mysterious, broom-riding vigilante disrupting the Wizard’s grand plans, while Glinda serves as the bright, smiling face of his regime. Despite growing tensions, their complicated bond remains at the film’s emotional core. Romantic entanglements, political pressure, and family struggles heighten the drama — including Fiyero’s divided loyalties and Nessarose’s increasingly hardened rule in Munchkinland.

Fans will appreciate richer origins for the Scarecrow and Tin Man, along with an epic witch duel that brings the story’s mythology to life. With jaw-dropping sets, stunning costumes, and Golden Age musical flair, "Wicked: For Good" delivers a magical, modern spectacle that soars. Wednesday, Dec. 24, 2 p.m. (OCAP), Thursday, Dec. 25, 7 p.m., Friday, Dec. 26, 7 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 27, 7 p.m., Sunday, Dec. 28, 2 p.m., Wednesday, Dec. 31, 2 p.m. (OCAP), Thursday, Jan. 1, 7 p.m.

“Erivo is extraordinary as Elphaba….She carries whole set pieces, and the wounded essence of the entire project, in her haunted looks and her mood of quiet despair. It’s down to her that a zingy, postmodern film of uncommon ideas has a captivating heart. Best actress Oscar?” – Ken Maher, The Times

“Is this second half better than the first? No. But they’re part of a whole. Wicked will go down in history as one of the greatest films of the musical genre, and, refreshingly, with two females and their friendship central to the narrative.” – Nikki Gemmell, The Austrailian

"The Lion In Winter" - Lunch with a Classic Series - (1968; PG; 2 hours, 12 minutes) - Set during Christmas in 1183, the film finds King Henry II (Peter O’Toole) preparing to name his successor—igniting a fierce battle for the crown. Henry favors his youngest son, Prince John (Nigel Terry), while his formidable wife, Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine (Katharine Hepburn), champions their son Richard (Anthony Hopkins). What follows is a sharp, witty, and riveting clash of power, family, and ambition, brought to life by some of cinema’s most legendary performances. ONE SHOW ONLY!

“All that's ever mattered about The Lion in Winter are Hepburn and O'Toole, and the pleasure we take from watching two masters inspire each other to greatness. Scenery chewing has rarely been so artful.” – Chuck Wilson, Village Voice
