Glinda and Elphaba Returning to Universal Orlando for More Wicked Fun!

Get ready, Ozians—Glinda and Elphaba are flying back to Universal Orlando Resort! After making a brief but magical appearance at the Wicked Experience in Universal Studios Florida last November, the iconic duo is set to return. This time, they’re likely preparing for a promotional push ahead of Wicked: For Good, the second installment of Universal Pictures’ highly anticipated Wicked film adaptation, which premieres in November 2025.

A Wicked Casting Call

To bring the spellbinding sorcery of Wicked back to Universal Orlando, the resort has posted a casting call for performers to portray Glinda and Elphaba. The requirements are very specific:

• Female-presenting actors between 5’1” and 5’4” in height
• A headshot, resume, full-length athletic wear photo, and audition video must be submitted
• Video auditions require a one-minute comedic monologue and an introduction with name and height
• Submissions are due by March 17, 2025

What Does This Mean for Universal Orlando?

While details on where and how these characters will appear remain under wraps, the casting call strongly suggests increased presence for the Wicked Experience or new promotional events tied to Wicked: For Good. With the first film smashing box office expectations, Universal is sure to go big for the sequel’s release, and will likely bring back the meet-and-greets that were incredibly popular last year.
