Discover the Story Behind Wicked
For those unfamiliar with Wicked—but for sure you’ve seen Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo prancing on your feed—the story is an enchanting reimagining of the classic Wizard of Oz, focusing on the untold backstory of the witches of Oz.
The story follows Elphaba, a misunderstood young woman with unusual green skin, and Glinda, a privileged and popular student. Despite their differences, they form a surprising friendship. This bond is tested by their ambitions, societal pressures, and their encounter with the Wonderful Wizard of Oz.
As their paths diverge, Elphaba becomes the infamous Wicked Witch of the West. Meanwhile, Glinda assumes her role as Glinda the Good. The tale explores identity, courage, and staying true to oneself. It is a timeless story that resonates with audiences worldwide.
The upcoming film adaptation, directed by Jon M. Chu of Crazy Rich Asians, stars Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba and Ariana Grande as Glinda. Part one of the highly anticipated two-part film is now in theaters, offering fans a chance to experience the magic on the big screen. The second installment is slated for release on November 21, 2025, giving fans plenty of time to immerse themselves in the world of Oz.
Whether you’re a long-time Ozian or just discovering the magic of Wicked, this Starbucks collaboration is the perfect way to celebrate the season. Sip on Glinda’s Pink Potion while channeling your inner bubbly optimist or embrace your unapologetic side with Elphaba’s Green Elixir. The glowing, shimmering merchandise is also a fantastic way to show off your love for the story—and makes a great conversation starter for fans and non-fans alike.

The collection also makes for thoughtful holiday gifts.
