The telecast will premiere on NBC on Nov. 19, three days before "Wicked" hits theaters. It will then be available to stream on Peacock the following day. It will include a new scene from the upcoming movie that audiences can only see in the behind-the-scenes special.

If you’re anxiously counting down the days until November 22, when “Wicked” arrives in theaters, you may want to add an additional date to your calendar. On Tuesday, November 19, a new TV special titled “Defying Gravity: The Curtain Rises on Wicked” will air at 10:00 p.
