Like comets pulled from orbit, droves of moviegoers across the world are flocking to see “Wicked: For Good,” which hit theaters this weekend. Here’s how you can celebrate the popular movie musical around the 919.
Defy gravity
Make like Elphaba and soar through the skies via trampolines at DEFY Raleigh — or go a bit higher with skydiving.
Get your nails done
Elphaba (and the “Wicked” press tour) just wouldn’t be the same without Cynthia Erivo’s signature showstopping nails. Get your own set done at local parlors specializing in intricate nail art like Nail Lab, Mood Raleigh, and Thi Ton Nail Studio.
Enroll in dance lessons
Dancing through life is much easier when you know the right steps. Sign up for a class or two from the NC Dance Institute.
Get matching tattoos
Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo will forever hold space for their “Wicked” experiences, thanks to their matching palm tattoos. Try somewhere like Inkvictus where you and your bestie can cement your own eternal bond.
Grab drinks at the Raleigh Times
Catch up with your witches over Glinda + Elphaba themed drinks at the Raleigh Times. Maybe no one mourns the wicked, but you’ll definitely mourn missing out on these cocktails.
Catch it on the biggest screen
Marbles Kids Museum’s IMAX screen is the biggest in Raleigh, and it’s the best place to see the epic conclusion to this musical. You could also go to the Alamo Drafthouse and head next door to Little Blue Bakehouse for macarons + treats made by wickedly talented local bakers with a pink + green twist.
