Playing Elphaba has been one of the greatest experiences of my life—and now, I want to welcome you into her most sacred space. Join me in Elphaba’s sanctuary, a place that holds her truth, her courage and her sense of belonging. See where she practiced spells and plotted to uncover the Emerald City’s secrets.
What you’ll do
Stepping into Elphaba’s world has reshaped me in ways I never expected, and now, I’m inviting you for a glimpse inside, so you can feel the magic I’ve come to know.
• You’ll arrive among the trees in the Ozian forest to find Elphaba’s home.
• We’ll start together by the fire with a tea tasting guided by a tea sommelier, steeping blends inspired by the nature around us. As you sip, I’ll share reflections and answer questions about my journey as Elphaba.
• Then you’ll be invited to wander and discover all of the thrillifying elements hidden in her home while listening to music and score from the film. From her hat and broom to traces of her spells to her collection of flyers and pamphlets from Oz’s Division of Prop & Ganda. Music and light breathe life into every corner. It’s a reminder that her story is alive here, rooted in the world around us.
• Next, you’ll craft your very own broom with the help of very Ozmopolitan floral artists. Using materials like willow, moss and poppies, you’ll weave a one-of-a-kind keepsake.
• To close out the evening, you’ll enjoy small bites that celebrate the forest’s bounty.
