It’s going to be a Wicked Christmas at Universal Studios Singapore (USS), Resorts World Sentosa. The Emerald City and the wonders of the Land of Oz will come alive at the theme park to celebrate the long-awaited film adaptation of the musical, which opens in cinemas on Nov 21 and stars Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba and Ariana Grande as Glinda. (The award-winning Broadway musical will be playing at Sands Theatre next year, too, from March 2025).
Part of USS’ A Universal Christmas, visitors will find themselves transported to an enchanting world at the New York zone from Nov 29, 2024 to Jan 1, 2025. They can meet iconic characters Elphaba, Glinda, and even The Wizard himself, and be a part of the daily hustle and bustle of the Emerald City life with photo spots featuring a recreation of The Hot Air Cafe Float on In, The Emerald Beautification Salon, and more.
The magic doesn’t stop there – the young and young-at-heart can receive an Elphaba- or Glinda-inspired makeover, which includes face painting, hair styling, and nail services, for $30 (two services) and an additional $8 for every add-on service. More pricing details are available here.
At the Universal Studios Store, costumes of The Wizard and Madame Morrible – created by the designers from the film – will be on display. Bring home Glinda and Elphaba-inspired pink and green merchandise such as t-shirts, mirrors, keychains and more. What’s more, visitors can get a taste of this fantastical world with restaurants and carts in the park serving up food and drinks inspired by the Land of Oz.
A Universal Christmas is also filled with new festive encounters. DreamWorks Animation Holiday Spectacular will showcase a variety of beloved characters including DreamWorks Animation’s Shrek, Trolls, the Madagascar crew, and Kung Fu Panda’s Po in a never-before-seen medley of light and music. At Santa’s Magical Mechanical World, see steampunk-inspired gadgets and gizmos. Another new show, Tinker Time Christmas, has Super Grover and the gang from Sesame Street get into playful antics with the Christmas Time Tinkering Machine.
Then there is the Christmas edition of Gingy’s Sweet Meet and Greet, along with Mel’s Merry Mixtape where the Universal Singers perform their foot-tapping mix of the biggest holiday hits from every decade. And of course, there are plenty of meet-and-greet opportunities with fan-favourite characters throughout the park.
A Universal Christmas is included with regular admission to Universal Studios Singapore. A Christmas ticket package is also available from $89 per adult and $68 per child and comes with a Christmas set meal, $5 Universal Studios Singapore Retail Voucher, and 20 percent discount for the Makeover Session at The Emerald Beautification Salon.
