Want to sing alongside Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande? Universal Pictures is offering die-hard Wicked fans the chance to become a part of Oz with special sing-along presentations of the epic fantasy musical.

The interactive showings will arrive in over 1,000 theaters in the United States, Canada, and select international markets on Christmas Day (Wednesday, December 25) — a little over a month after the movie's traditional debut.

"The overwhelming response to Wicked has been remarkable," Jim Orr, president of domestic theatrical distribution for Universal Pictures, said in a statement. “These sing-along screenings offer fans a unique opportunity to become part of the story they’ve embraced so enthusiastically. There’s something extraordinarily special about experiencing this beloved musical together as a community, and we’re thrilled to create that opportunity this holiday season.”

What is Wicked about?

Based on Gregory Maguire's 1995 novel Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, the Broadway musical and its two-part film adaptation imagines a Wizard of Oz prequel centered around the green-skinned Elphaba (Erivo), the eventual Wicked Witch of the West. Before that though, she's a talented student at Shiz University, where she rooms with the popular Glinda (Grande). Things start to go downhill once Elphaba travels to the Emerald City and meets the so-called Wizard (Jeff Goldblum), who may not be as "wonderful" as we once thought.

“I want people who saw it on the stage to experience it in a way they never have,” director Jon M. Chu, who is no stranger to adapting musicals after 2021's In the Heights, says in the official production notes. “We worked a long time to find the perfect cast. We knew we needed people who could sing and act and who were a little Ozian. There’s a little oddity, a bit of left-of-center to these storytellers. That’s why I liked getting all these misfits together to make a movie about misfits.” 

How can you watch Wicked in theaters?

Since opening in late November, the film has officially become the highest-grossing Broadway musical adaptation of all time with over $450 million worldwide. The previous record holder was Grease, which remained at the top for close to half a century with just under $400 million globally. In addition to winning eight Astra Awards, Wicked also nabbed four Golden Globe nominations and was named named the best movie of the year by the National Board of Review.

The sequel — Wicked Part Two — is set to follow on November 21, 2025.
