Wicked Spreads Some Magic at Universal Studios Orlando and Hollywood in October
Find out how Universal Studios theme parks are weaving some Wicked magic of their own this fall.
If you're impatiently looking to fill time before you visit to Oz this November when Wicked arrives in theaters, Universal Theme Parks has announced they're weaving some interim magic to make the wait bearable.
If you haven't heard, Wicked is the John M. Chu (In the Heights) directed adaptation of the beloved Broadway musical based on Gregory Maguire's bestselling novel about the real story of Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda, the Good Witch. Superstar singers Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande play Elphaba and Glinda, respectively.
