« on: December 26, 2025, 07:42:27 PM »

From the Universal Pictures Home Entertainment press release:

Just in time for the New Year, fans can rejoycify and return to the Emerald City for the epic conclusion to the untold story of the witches of Oz, now from the comfort of their own home. After debuting at #1 at the global box office earning a thrillifying $223M and surpassing Part One as the biggest opening ever for a Broadway musical adaptation, WICKED: FOR GOOD will now be available to buy* or rent exclusively on digital platforms starting December 30, from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment. Boasting a stellar “A” Cinemascore and Verified Hot with a 95% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, WICKED: FOR GOOD is “a sensational conclusion” (Mashable). The film comes home with 2 versions of the movie, including an exclusive sing-along for fans and over one hour of bonus features, including deleted scenes, a 50+ minute exclusive look into the making of the movie with Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo and the cast and filmmakers, and more must-have behind-the-scenes featurettes. WICKED: FOR GOOD will also be available on 4K UHD, Blu-ray™ & DVD on January 20, 2026. There’s nowhere like home to watch WICKED: FOR GOOD.

In WICKED: FOR GOOD, Elphaba and Glinda are now estranged, each living with the consequences of their choices. Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo), now demonized as The Wicked Witch of the West, lives in exile, continuing her fight to expose The Wizard. Meanwhile, Glinda (Ariana Grande) has become a glamorous symbol of Goodness, basking in the perks of fame and popularity. When a girl from Kansas crashes into their lives, Elphaba and Glinda must reunite and truly see each other—if they are to change themselves, and all of Oz. Bring home the adventure with an exclusive sing-along and prepare to be changed…for good.

The film is based on the generation-defining musical stage play with music and lyrics by legendary Grammy and Oscar® winning composer and lyricist Stephen Schwartz and book by Winnie Holzman, from the bestselling novel by Gregory Maguire. Directed by renowned filmmaker Jon M. Chu (Wicked, Crazy Rich Asians,), the film co-stars Critics’ Choice® Award winner and Emmy nominee Jonathan Bailey (Jurassic World: Rebirth, “Bridgerton”), Emmy® Award winner Jeff Goldblum (Jurassic Park, Independence Day), Oscar® and Golden Globe® Award winner Michelle Yeoh (Everything Everywhere All at Once, Crazy Rich Asians), Screen Actors Guild® Nominee Ethan Slater (Broadway’s SpongeBob SquarePants, The Man Behind the Camera), Bowen Yang (“Saturday Night Live,” Isn’t It Romantic) and Marissa Bode.

I saw the stage play and didn't love it. I made it through the first movie and will try and review this one, but my expectations are quite low. 

Highlight of the stage play was talking with Patty Duke when it was over. She was a really nice lady and was kind to spend time with my mom who had recently lost her husband.

That's a great story!  I always thought Patty Duke deserved more work, she was always very likeable.  it must have been a special moment for your mother.

It was for all of us. My Mom started to cry and Patry Duke gave her a hug. It was very touching. It was sad the way she died in 2016 too from sepsis. Much too young at 69.

Saw the musical stage production years before the movies and really liked it. The 1st movie... had its moments but so over the top in many ways. Ariana Grande kinda creeps me out, too, despite how cute she is.
