“Wicked” author Gregory Maguire gives stamp of approval to upcoming adaptation

Mattel’s packaging for its “Wicked” movie doll lives up to its name, but not in a good way.
The toy manufacturer is apologizing after mistakenly including a web address for a pornographic site on the boxes holding the company’s newly launched “Wicked” dolls, rather than the official website of the movie adaptation of the Tony award-winning musical.
According to social media users, the information on the doll’s packaging leads to a website that requires people to be 18 years or older to enter. The company intended to direct people to a similarly worded URL promoting the two-part film starring singer Ariana Grande and actress Cynthia Erivo.
