Here’s When ‘Wicked’ Is Streaming And Where To Watch
Get ready to join the land of Oz once again! The hit movie adaptation of the Broadway musical phenomenon Wicked is finally coming to a streaming service near you. After its massive success on the big screen, the film will be available to stream exclusively on Peacock starting March 21st.
For those who may have missed it in theaters or are eager for another watch, this is fantastic news. The movie stars an impressive cast including Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande, Jonathan Bailey, Ethan Slater, Bowen Yang, Peter Dinklage, Michelle Yeoh, and Jeff Goldblum, among others.
I had the chance to review Wicked when it first came out, and I was thoroughly impressed by its spectacular visuals, phenomenal performances, and faithfulness to the original stage production. Despite running a bit long, I found myself never bored or disconnected from the story. In fact, having recently seen the Broadway musical before watching the movie adaptation, I appreciated the unique opportunity to get up close and personal with the characters in a way that’s impossible on stage.
Wicked has received widespread critical acclaim, boasting an impressive 88% rating on Rotten Tomatoes among critics and an astonishing 95% from audiences. It’s no surprise then that it has taken home awards like the Golden Globe Award for Cinematic and Box Office Achievement, and is nominated for a whopping 10 Academy Awards.
In contrast, another musical adaptation, Netflix’s Emilia Perez, which garnered a bafflingly high critic score of 72% on Rotten Tomatoes and a much more understandable 17% with audiences, has been widely panned by critics and audiences alike. Forbes contributor Paul Tassi agrees with the public sentiment, stating that it’s “impossible to recommend to any fans of the individual genres it tries to operate within.”
Wicked is an unforgettable experience that will surely delight both new and longtime fans of the franchise. So mark your calendars for March 21st and get ready to join Elphaba and Galinda on their epic journey through Oz!
