The movie Wicked: For Good had a very successful opening weekend, earning $150 million in the US – over 30% more than the first part of the story earned last year. This suggests Warner Bros. and director Jon M. Chu have another hit film. With memorable songs like “Wonderful,” “As Long As You’re Mine,” and “For Good,” it’s likely to be just as popular and have audiences singing along. However, viewers will have to wait for it to become available on streaming or Blu-ray to enjoy it at home, unless they find a theater that allows singing!
Luckily, there are several other fantastic musicals fans can enjoy by singing along at home. Here are three beloved fantasy musicals to check out.
3) The Wiz
L. Frank Baum’s The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and the classic 1939 film adaptation, The Wizard of Oz, have both had a massive and lasting impact on popular culture. The story centers around a diverse group – people and fantastical creatures alike – who band together to overcome a tyrannical leader who has become disconnected and lost his compassion. It’s a heartwarming tale that continues to resonate with audiences across generations and backgrounds.
Consider The Wiz, a film that reimagines The Wizard of Oz with an all-African American cast. It starred Diana Ross as Dorothy, Michael Jackson as the Scarecrow, Nipsey Russell as the Tinman, and Ted Ross as the Cowardly Lion. While it wasn’t a big hit when it first came out, The Wiz has become a popular favorite, especially among fans of Diana Ross and Michael Jackson.

2) Into the Woods
Similar to the films Wicked, Disney’s Into the Woods started as a popular stage production set in a magical world. But while Wicked reimagines the stories of L. Frank Baum, Into the Woods weaves together classic fairy tales by the Brothers Grimm, including “Little Red Riding Hood,” “Rapunzel,” “Jack and the Beanstalk,” and “Cinderella.”
The movie Into the Woods is a beautiful and well-made adaptation of the popular 1987 Broadway musical. It features a fantastic cast, with especially strong performances from Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt, and Anna Kendrick, and includes many great songs like “Witch’s Lament,” “Agony,” and “Your Fault.”

1) Frozen
Released in 2013, Frozen was a huge hit for Disney. It didn’t just open strongly – it continued to draw audiences for weeks, thanks to its incredibly charming story and characters.
With beautiful animation and spot-on singing from Kristen Bell, Idina Menzel, Jonathan Groff, and Josh Gad, this movie is a perfect match for the Wicked films. The songs are fantastic, and the story focuses on two sisters—a direct contrast to Glinda and Elphaba in Wicked, who aren’t related by blood. The story explores one sister who is unfairly seen as the villain simply because others don’t understand her.
