Where to Watch Wicked: How to Get Tickets, IMAX Details & More
It's not quite "One Short Day" away, but Wicked will be releasing in theatres soon.
The time has finally come: John M. Chu’s Wicked is about to premiere in theaters. A world-renowned Broadway musical based on author Gregory Maguire's bestselling book, the film adaptation takes the beloved Wicked characters and showcases them in a way fans have never seen before.
Here's everything you need to know about how to catch Wicked –– starring Ariana Grande as Glinda (who one day becomes the Good Witch, of Wizard of Oz fame) and Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba (who eventually and perhaps unfairly becomes the Wicked Witch of the West) –– from when the movie hits theaters to how you could potentially score free tickets.
How can you watch Wicked?
The only way to watch Wicked is to catch it during its theatrical run beginning on November 22. At an undetermined time after that, the film will be available to eventually stream on Peacock, NBCUniversal’s streaming service.

When does Wicked open in theatres
Wicked will arrive in theaters everywhere November 22, just in time for Thanksgiving. In certain areas, there will be showings beginning November 21.
Just ahead of that though, fans can tune into Defying Gravity: The Curtain Rises, a behind-the-scenes special airing on NBC Tuesday, November 19 at 10 p.m. ET before making its way to Peacock the following day. The hour-long special includes intimate looks at the film’s set design, as well as exclusive interviews with the main cast.
