Wicked: For Good Takes Over Orlando With Immersive Pop-Ups, Parties and Double-Feature Screenings

Orlando is leaning into its theatrical side this month as the city prepares for the Nov. 21 debut of Wicked: For Good. The entertainment capital has rolled out an enchanted lineup of experiences that bring Oz to life through pop-ups, screenings and costumed adventures. The timing could not be better. With the film on countdown, visitors can pair movie-night plans with playful events that wink at the musical’s most iconic moments.

Wicked: The Experience at Universal Studios Florida

The yellow brick road feels astonishingly close at Universal Studios Florida, where Wicked: The Experience transforms a front-gate space into a walkthrough attraction inspired by the upcoming film. Guests explore Shiz University, wander the Emerald City and peek beyond its gates. Film-costume displays, themed merchandise and staged photo moments allow fans to immerse themselves in the story before seeing it on the big screen.

Ozmopolitan Pop-Up Bar at Lake Nona Wave Hotel

On Fridays and Saturdays through Nov. 29, Lake Nona Wave Hotel invites guests to its Ozmopolitan pop-up in the Sculpture Garden. Live Broadway-style music adds levity as visitors sip themed cocktails and strike theatrical poses at photo installations. It offers a playful nightcap for those who enjoy a wink of emerald-green glamour.

Little Wicked Burlesque and Bingo at Hourglass Brewing

On Nov. 15, Hourglass Brewing presents Little Wicked Burlesque and Bingo, a flirty evening designed for adults. Wicked-inspired performances pair with a lighthearted bingo game, offering an entertaining detour for those who appreciate their Oz with a touch of mischief.

Good Witch vs. Bad B*tch at Howl at the Moon

Nov. 21 brings Good Witch vs. Bad B*tch: A Wicked Night to Howl at the Moon. Guests can sip on themed cocktails, dance to a lively soundtrack and compete in a friendly costume showdown. Drinks like the “Welcome to Oz” shot and “Praise Oz! Punch” help fuel the floor as guests lean into their chosen magical side.

Wicked Teatime at The Tea Room Experience

Wicked Teatime takes place Nov. 30 at The Tea Room Experience. This afternoon event includes a complimentary Green Elixir welcome drink, along with finger sandwiches, scones, desserts and hot teas. Expect a Glinda-meets-Elphaba setting with just enough sparkle to feel festive.

Double-Feature Screenings Around Orlando

Movie lovers can enjoy a back-to-back presentation of Wicked and Wicked: For Good on Nov. 20 at select Regal, Cinemark and AMC locations across Orlando. Several standouts heighten the occasion:

Regal at Pointe Orlando hosts the experience on the largest IMAX screen in Florida, while AMC Dine-In Disney Springs 24 allows guests to pair dinner with the double feature. Universal CityWalk Cinemark offers easy access to Wicked merchandise and is steps away from a lively dining district for pre- or post-screening bites.

With so many immersive attractions, Orlando is leaning into the cultural momentum surrounding Wicked: For Good in a way few destinations can match. Fans can build a full itinerary around screenings, social gatherings and themed culinary stops that feel rooted in the spirit of the film.

Whether it’s tea with a side of sparkle or a late-night DJ set that would make Elphaba proud, the city offers plenty of reasons to make a weekend out of the premiere. The only question is which shoes to wear. Hint: silver may work best for skipping toward your theater seat.
