Dust off a broomstick and warm up your pipes — the first part of Universal’s film adaptation of Wicked will premiere on Peacock shortly.
The streaming service is also throwing in the sing-along version, so you can memorize all the lyrics during the wait for part two, titled Wicked: For Good. Committed fans will be able to enjoy more bonus content, including deleted scenes and behind-the-scenes featurettes.
The first part of Wicked stars Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande as Elphaba and Glinda, respectively, as students who become unlikely friends after meeting at Shiz University in the Land of Oz. The movie, which adapts the musical stage play, scored 10 Oscar nominations and won for best production design and costume design.
Wicked: For Good is still suspended somewhere over Oz. If you need a popular pick while you wait for its Nov. 21 release date, here’s when Peacock will stream the first part of Wicked.
