Wicked Sing Along and bonus scenes

With the purchase of a copy of "Wicked," fans will also get a bonus 40-minute sing-along version, deleted and extended scenes, a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the movie and a welcome to Shiz University. The version for sale will also include commentaries from director John Chu and stars Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande.

"The sing-along version has the lyrics right underneath, so that comes out this Christmas, December 25, where people can go in the movie theater and sing along, finally they’re allowed to. And we include that in the home video version, so you can sing along in your house with your kids with your grandparents, whoever," Chu told NBC Insider.  

Elphaba’s iconic witch hat is just one of the incredible pieces created by “Wicked” costume designer Paul Tazewell. He began his process eight months before filming, using “The Wizard of Oz” as well as the original “Wicked” novel and Broadway musical for inspiration.

"Wicked" is rated PG and runs two hours and forty minutes.

The film has brought in more than $580 million worldwide and nearly $400 million domestically, Box Office Mojo reports.
