Wicked: The Experience coming to UOR

[DodgsonHere]

Replacing Hello Kitty with Wicked is like Disney replacing the Haunted Mansion gift shop with a Hamilton store.

What?

I assume the plan is for the store to remain for about two years (minimum), to promote both movies and continue sales beyond.

Looking at the merchandise they seem to have partnered with most of the same higher end vendors that produce the Potter merchandise (Mina Lima, etc.) so it will be decent quality.

This actually looks really cool, I would check it out for sure. I have been a huge fan of the musical ever since it started touring.

While Hello Kitty is received very well out in Hollywood, it never moved the needle in Orlando.

This sounds so weird to me, as it’s getting impossible to avoid Sanrio characters these days. The Orlando crowd must be strange.

I’m s o excited that Wicked is coming to Universal! Interactive experiences and merchandise sound awesome. Character meet-and-greets would be a great idea, and maybe even stage shows? It would be nice if these attractions lasted longer , as suggested. It might be worth considering fan events to celebrate this new addition!
