A group of euphoric fans knocked down the barricades at the National Auditorium set up for the premiere of “Wicked,” where stars Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo are expected to appear.
Many people without tickets even camped outside early in the morning to watch the parade of stars, but security went wild and soon there was chaos.
According to reports, several people were injured, which could delay the appearance of the talents for security reasons.
What is the new Wicked movie about?
