Where to Watch Wicked on Digital at Home Right Now

by

As a musical theatre enthusiast with a soft spot for reinterpretations of beloved classics, I was absolutely thrilled to learn about the digital release of “Wicked Part One”. Having seen the Broadway production multiple times, I can confidently say that this film adaptation is nothing short of a masterpiece. The casting choices are exceptional, with Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande bringing Elphaba and Glinda to life in ways that resonate deeply with the characters’ complex personalities. Jon M. Chu has done an outstanding job of capturing the magic and emotion that make “Wicked” such a timeless story.

What truly sets this film apart is its ability to appeal not only to fans of the original Broadway production but also to those who are newcomers to the world of Oz. The film’s exploration of themes like friendship, identity, and acceptance are universal, making it relatable and accessible for audiences of all ages. I highly recommend adding “Wicked Part One” to your digital collection – trust me, you won’t be disappointed!

Oh, and if you find yourself humming the tunes long after the credits roll, don’t worry – that just means you’ve been bewitched by the enchanting world of Oz! (Just make sure not to click your heels together too quickly when you return to reality.)

You’ll become quite popular after you get the digital version of “Wicked Part One”! The grandest on-screen adaptation of a Broadway musical in Hollywood history is now up for rent or purchase from all online stores, such as Vudu and Apple TV, courtesy of Universal Pictures Home Entertainment.

As a gamer, I can’t wait to dive into the magical world of “Wicked: The Untold Tale,” directed by Jon M. Chu, who brought us the vibrant worlds of “Crazy Rich Asians” and “In the Heights.” This film takes us back to the beginning, revealing the origin story of the Wicked Witch of the West, played by Cynthia Erivo. Before she earned her wickedly famous reputation, she was Elphaba Thropp, a misunderstood green-skinned student, honing her magical skills at the elite Shiz University.

Under the guidance of the accomplished Madame Morrible, portrayed by Michelle Yeoh, I cultivate my exceptional talents alongside my roommate, Elphaba – who later becomes known as the Wicked Witch of the West. Initially, our bond is hesitant yet enduring, akin to close friends. However, our friendship takes an unexpected turn when we journey together to the fabled Emerald City and cross paths with the enigmatic Wizard, portrayed by Jeff Goldblum. As time unfolds, it seems that the Wizard’s reputation for being “wonderful” may not be entirely accurate.

Chu explains in the production notes that he aims for viewers who witnessed it live to encounter something entirely new. He spent a considerable amount of time selecting the ideal cast, understanding that they needed to be versatile performers with a touch of the magical land of Oz. These storytellers should have an unusual or unconventional quality, which is why I found it intriguing to gather these ‘misfits’ and create a movie about characters who don’t quite fit in.
