Wicked is one of the most popular words in Boston. Dunkin’ is the most popular donut place in that city. So it makes sense that Dunkin’ and Universal would team up to promote Wicked: For Good’s release this month.
“Wicked: For Good is such a stunning blend of heart, music, and imagination,” said Jill Nelson, chief marketing officer at Dunkin’. “Partnering with a story that means so much to fans everywhere gave us the chance to have a little fun with our own world, too. The result is a collaboration that’s playful, creative – and in true Boston fashion, wicked good.”
For this month only, you can choose from these three Wicked good treats:
Wicked Green Matcha: An emerald elixir fit for Elphaba herself. Dunkin’s classic Iced Matcha Latte gets a wicked twist with brown sugar and toasted almond flavors, made with whole milk for a creamy finish. Guests can also customize with oatmilk or almondmilk.
Wicked Pink Refresher: Forthose who prefer a touch of Glinda’s sparkle, this bright, bubbly pink drink is bursting with strawberry, dragonfruit, and blueberry flavors and made with sparkling water.
Wicked MUNCHKINS® Donut Hole Treats: At Dunkin’, there’s no place like the donut case. Old Fashioned Glazed MUNCHKINS® get the ultimate Wicked pink-and-green makeover, inspired by Oz’s most iconic duo.
The Glindas and Elphebas in your lives will love the Munchkins as well, as much as the Munchkins like Boq.
People has named its 40th Sexiest Man of the Year, and this year’s man is a wicked good choice. That is because it is Wicked’s Jonathan Bailey.
The reveal was made on The Tonight Show yesterday, and Bailey, who is the first openly out man to hold the title, told Jimmy Fallon, “I’m so thrilled that People Magazine have invited someone in and bestowed this honor on someone who can really cherish the value of a sexy man.”
And we cherish that it is someone who is not only sexy but also humble. He could not stop giggling and blushing during his appearance on the late night talk show.
Another reason why he is the perfect choice is that he lovingly shares the second cover with his dog, Benson. What is sexier than a man who loves his animals? Nothing!
So congrats to the sexy man! I am not the only one congratulating him. His Wicked director, John M. Chu, and castmates Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo, Jeff Goldblum, Bowen Young, Marissa Bode, and Ethan Slater did the same. To hear what they said to him, then click here!
Wicked was a masterpiece that ended on a cliffhanger. On November 21st, we will see how the story of Glinda (Ariana Grande) and Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo) concludes in Wicked: For Good.
Today, we got a sneak peek of their final songs and how their tale continues with a wedding, a little Wizard of Oz mixed in, and how their friendship changes for good and for bad in the final trailer.
Elphaba, now demonized as The Wicked Witch of the West, lives in exile, hidden within the Ozian forest while continuing her fight for the freedom of Oz’s silenced Animals and desperately trying to expose the truth she knows about The Wizard (Jeff Goldblum).
Glinda, meanwhile, has become the glamorous symbol of Goodness for all of Oz, living at the palace in Emerald City and reveling in the perks of fame and popularity. Under the instruction of Madame Morrible (Oscar® winner Michelle Yeoh), Glinda is deployed to serve as an effervescent comfort to Oz, reassuring the masses that all is well under the rule of The Wizard.
As Glinda’s stardom expands and she prepares to marry Prince Fiyero (Olivier award winner and Emmy and SAG nominee Jonathan Bailey) in a spectacular Ozian wedding, she is haunted by her separation from Elphaba. She attempts to broker a conciliation between Elphaba and The Wizard, but those efforts will fail, driving Elphaba and Glinda only further apart. The aftershocks will transform Boq (Tony nominee Ethan Slater) and Fiyero forever, and threaten the safety of Elphaba’s sister, Nessarose (Marissa Bode), when a girl from Kansas comes crashing into all their lives.
As an angry mob rises against the Wicked Witch, Glinda and Elphaba will need to come together one final time. With their singular friendship now the fulcrum of their futures, they will need to truly see each other, with honesty and empathy, if they are to change themselves, and all of Oz, for good.
I thought the first movie was an epic, but I was wrong. The sequel looks even bigger. Who knew that was possible? John M. Chu, the visionary behind the musical!
Normally, I don’t want the Halloween season to end, but this year I do because I can’t wait to see a movie that is already a classic for generations to come.
Jonathan Bailey shared a photo of himself biting Scarlett Johansson’s neck, and I wonder if they have something to tell us.
Is Bailey switching teams, and is Johansson leaving her husband, Colin Jost, for him? Nope. They are being shameless to get the word out about his charity, The Shameless Fund, a Foundation he founded to use brand collaborations to raise money to support LGBTQ+ rights and organizations.
Did their shameless actions work to donate to him?
Forget Jonathan Bailey and Scarlett Johansson, the real star of Jurassic World Rebirth is Delores the Dinosaur.
Don’t believe me? Even Rupert Friend said he “would not be surprised if she is everyone’s favorite character in the film.” She is mine, and I have not seen the film that comes out on Wednesday.
The puppy-sized dino is an Aquilops, and sadly, she doesn’t exist off of the screen. But I am going to dream she does, and I will want to own one. Thankfully, there are a lot of toys in her image. But they are not the same.
Why can’t someone clone the fossil they found and bring her to life? What else are scientists working on since this administration is making them stop working on vaccines and cures for things like cancer?
