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.

Starting at the end of October, Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort are going full fantastical with their Wicked experiences, food and merch available at the parks. NBC Insider has a rundown of what to look for when you visit this fall.

What's coming to Universal Studios Orlando?

Near the front gate at Universal Orlando Resort, the Wicked: The Experience will feature a way for guests to step into major set pieces from the first film including a walk along the yellow brick road to Shiz University and the Emerald City. The location will also feature props and costumes featured in Wicked Part I.
