Universal’s smash hit Wicked will officially fly into homes in time for the new year. The musical feature adaptation releases on digital starting December 31.
Described as “the untold story of the witches of Oz,” Wicked stars Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba and Ariana Grande as Glinda. The story explores how the two women meet and become unlikely friends, before their lives lead them to walk different paths – ones that will ultimately see them fulfill their destinies as Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West.
The long-awaited adaptation of the popular stage musical proved a smash hit in theaters, approaching a gross of $400 million at the domestic box office. Over Christmas, the feature also released a special sing-along version in theaters. Soon, fans can also watch the film and sing their hearts out from the comfort of their own home.
