Brick Lane turns yellow to mark new Wicked film

Brick Lane in east London has been painted yellow to mark the release of the new Wicked film - Wicked: For Good.

The art installation came about via a collaboration between Universal UK, the Truman Brewery and Tower Hamlets Council.

Six artists were commissioned to paint Wicked-themed murals along the route, including Taya De La Cruz, James Cochran AKA Jimmy C, Tom Blackford, Mr Cenz, Sophie Mess and Nicolas Dixon.

Mr Cenz told the BBC he was a Wicked fan after watching it with his daughters, and said of the painting: "I had to do it in two days, and obviously in this really cold weather it was a challenge."

India Young, Truman Brewery's events operations manager, said: "There's no place like Brick Lane, and at the Truman Brewery, east London's iconic home for creativity and culture, imagination and individuality take centre stage.

"In collaboration with Wicked: For Good, we're thrilled to bring Yellow Brick Lane to life through an 'oz-mazing' transformation of our beloved site."
