Hollywood, March 22, 2025 – The much-anticipated blockbuster musical “Wicked,” which garnered 10 Academy Award nominations and grossed a whopping $727 million at the global box office, is now available for streaming on Peacock.
The film, directed by Jon M. Chu, best known for hits like “Crazy Rich Asians” and “In the Heights,” is a stunning adaptation of Broadway’s iconic musical. The story unravels the events leading up to “The Wizard of Oz,” and fans can now experience it from the comfort of their homes.
Along with this streaming release, a special singalong edition of “Wicked” will also be available on the same day, allowing viewers to sing along with Elphaba and Glinda to their favorite songs. In addition, a collection of bonus content will also be offered on Peacock, including glimpses into the making of the film and its magical journey.
“Wicked” stars Oscar-nominated actress Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba, a misunderstood young woman who has extraordinary powers, while pop sensation Ariana Grande has charmed audiences with her performance as Glinda.
The unlikely friendship between the two forms the core of the story, which becomes complicated when they encounter the wonderful Wizard of Oz (Jeff Goldblum). Starring Michelle Yeoh, Jonathan Bailey, Ethan Slater and Peter Dinklage, the film is a touching exploration of female friendship, corrupt power and the magic hidden in humanity.
The film features some of the Broadway musical’s most beloved songs, such as “Popular”, “Defying Gravity”, “Dancing Through Life” and “The Wizard and I”, which transport audiences back to the world of Oz. The film is the first installment of a two-part adaptation, and the second part, “Wicked: For Good”, is set to release in theaters on November 21.
“Wicked” has also received widespread praise from critics. Variety film critic Peter Debruge called it “its own perfect form,” saying, “Every frame is filled with nuances that could easily have been a distraction had a less talented person like Cynthia Erivo been asked to play it.”
Erivo and Grande’s stellar performances earned both Oscar nominations, while the film also earned nominations in several other categories, including Best Picture, Best Production Design, and Best Costume Design.
Whether you’re a longtime fan of Broadway or new to this magical tale, “Wicked” arriving on Peacock is a great chance to experience it again or immerse yourself in it for the first time. Turn your home into Oz and enjoy singing along to this musical sensation that is still enchanting audiences around the world.
Stream “Wicked” now on Peacock and stay tuned for the second installment, which hits theaters later this year!
