Wicked has quickly become one of the biggest movies of the year. If you’re a super fan of the musical like me, you’ve also probably seen the film in theaters multiple times. Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo are fantastic as Glinda and Elphaba. Their performances even earned them 2025 Golden Globe nominations. Though it’s smashing box office records, people have been eagerly awaiting to watch the movie at home — and on Dec. 31, the movie was *finally* made available to stream.
If you still haven’t gotten to see Wicked in theaters, don’t worry just yet — it could be in theaters for a while. ICYMI, movies typically stay in theaters longer if they’re performing well. Wicked: Part One has become the highest-grossing movie based on a Broadway musical of all time at the domestic box office, so it’s safe to say it’s here to stay. There have also been Wicked sing-along screenings, which began on Christmas Day, so the film will at least be available to see on the big screen for the next few weeks. With its success, you can just imagine the excitement many fans felt when this movie hit streaming platforms. Now that’s it’s available, here’s how to watch Wicked at home.

Movies like ‘wicked’ To Watch
Although I don’t see anyone getting tired of Wicked anytime soon, there are other movies like this one to watch if you need a little break. The musical is partially inspired by the iconic movie The Wizard of Oz. If you rewatch the classic, you may even catch the references made to the film in Wicked. Jon M. Chu also directed the movie musical In The Heights, which is another great watch for theater fans. Both films are available to watch on Max. They can also be rented or purchased on platforms like YouTube TV, Amazon Prime, and Apple TV+.
