Moonlight Movies

Mt. Airy CDC is hosting a single Moonlight Movie for the 2025 season, and it’s a special one: Wicked.

This family-friendly musical fantasy film stars Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande as Elphaba and Glinda. The story takes place in the Land of Oz (prior to Dorothy Gale’s arrival from Kansas) and explores the early relationship between Elphaba, who later becomes the Wicked Witch of the West, and her roommate Galinda, who becomes Glinda the Good.

Temple Health – Chestnut Hill Hospital and Paint Philly are our generous sponsors for this free event. We also thank Mt. Airy Baseball and Philadelphia Parks & Rec for helping make this event possible.

The movie begins at sunset (it needs to be dark to see the screen!), so start time is approximately 8:30 pm. We invite the community to join us for a free screening of the film along with family yoga beforehand by Blue Banyan Yoga starting at 7:30 pm. Follow us on Facebook or Instagram for the latest updates. Bring a blanket or a lawn chair, and let’s make a night of it!

Please note: The film is rated PG, with a run time of 160 minutes. Common Sense Media recommends it for kids ages 10 and above.
