The Straits Times
|October 18, 2025
Get ready for Sentosa to be "changed for good" as Wicked mania hits Singapore.
In line with the movie sequel Wicked: For Good opening in cinemas here on Nov 20, there will be installations, interactive activities and retail offerings themed around the musical fantasy on the island from Nov 10 to Jan 4.
The multi-sensorial Sentosa Sensoryscape will be transformed into the iconic Yellow Brick Road from Part Two of 2024's Wicked. American singer-actress Ariana Grande and British actress Cynthia Erivo are reprising their roles as Glinda The Good and Elphaba the Wicked Witch of the West respectively.
In its Glow Garden will float Glinda's Bubble, one of Wicked: For Good's most iconic motifs, inviting guests to step within and be surrounded by vibrant tulip blooms as they see the world through Glinda's eyes.
