Currently, you can rent it online (Prime Video and elsewhere) or buy the digital copy.

But I've also read that it will likely be available on Peacock TV in February or March.


I am going to wait for the movie to be on Peacock.

Comcast produced the movie so It should be on their service.

I saw the musical when it first toured and didn’t feel any need to see it again (I think I’m a generation removed - my favorites are Miss Saigon and Rent; grew up during the Les Miz and Phantom years.) Obviously, I know much of the music - the big songs at least. But I really loved the movie and can’t wait for Part 2. I really hope Ariana wins every supporting actress award this season (don’t think Cynthia’s role this movie is worthy of the top prize. Maybe next movie.) Comic roles don’t win often, but she brings depth at the start with No One Mourns The Wicked. Although I think some of their interviews are ridiculous, I have to admit they are perfectly cast and really truly care about the source material.

I thought the Broadway play was just weird, so even if this goes to some free streaming service I wouldn't put it on my watch list.

I'm sorry to say that I didn't really like the movie.  It was too long and drawn out.  And there's a Part II? Woman Surprised

 

I think Arianna Grande does have a beautiful voice, I don't really follow her.  To me, the movie was just "meh".  But then I didn't like "Les Mis" either.  

 

I'm sorry I never saw the play.

I took a friend’s teen daughter to to it on New Year’s Day ( if she didn’t want to go I had no intention of seeing it), and was so pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed it. It’s a long movie, but it did not drag at all. Quite a fun and entertaining film - comedy, drama, fantasy, memorable music and first class singing, dancing and special effects Very glad I went!

Took the grands to see the movie.

where have I been? This movie had the best special effects, costuming and music that I have ever seen

There are some topics presented that I think are good for kids...in order to enlighten them.

One of those topics has to do with Arianna Grande's use of manipulation to get people to do her bidding!

Cynthia Erivo who plays the green witch is just fabulous!

And I never realized what a beautifully trained voice A. Grande has.

My grands don't think about the "trinkets" movies often promote. I’m glad about this!


I go on utube to hear Enivo sing.  Fabulous voice when she is in concert. 

She is beautiful in a weird way.  Don't care for the nails or nose riing, but beautiful lady and voice.

For me and in my opinion, the movie is a work of art.

Works of art are a very personal taste, and here is why this movie meant so much to me.

I want my grands to be "carried away" with art...at least once in their lives lol.

My DGS's mind is like he's a little engineer. Our seats were on the FRONT ROW, which I thought I would hate, but my goodness, it was like seeing a musical and being immersed in it! The huge gears and booming sounds immediately grabbed him ...as if he was trying to decide how to build all of those mechanisms and gears with his Legos lol

My DGD is taken away with acting, drama and dance...this was right up her alley!

 

Ehen we got in the car to return home, we talked about how Glenda was being "manipulative" of her "followers" at the beginning!  There will be more discussions in the future about what in this world really it is that is "Wicked"!
