What is Wicked About?
Before we dive into the tea experience, for those wondering what is Wicked about, let’s talk about this reimagining of the classic tale of The Wizard of Oz. Set before Dorothy crash lands in the magical land, the Wicked movie, stars powerhouses Cynthia Erivo as Wicked Witch Elphaba and Ariana Grande as Glinda the Good Witch, and tells the untold story of the unlikely friendship between the witches of Oz. The highly anticipated film hits theaters 11/22.
A Wickedly Good Afternoon Tea
