A Wicked-Themed Date Night You’ll Love
Are you ready to be swept away to the Emerald City for date night? ✨ With the second half of Wicked hitting theaters soon, I couldn’t resist creating a themed date that’s equal parts magical, playful, and (dare I say) a little wicked. Whether you’ve been obsessed with this story since Broadway, you can’t wait to see Ariana and Cynthia on the big screen, or you’re just looking for a unique way to spend time with your spouse, this night will leave you feeling spellbound—without the tornado.
So grab your ruby slippers (or maybe just some cozy socks), because we’re about to defy gravity together.

Send a Wicked Invite
Start your evening on a fun and flirty note with a textable invite. Think of it as a little teaser for the night ahead! Just screenshot the invite below, or download it from the bottom of the post, and send it to your munchkin!
It’s short, playful, and immediately sets the theme. Bonus points if you throw in a green or pink heart emoji to make it extra Glinda-fied!
Emerald City Eats (Dinner at Home)
Now it’s time to feast like you’ve scored a seat in Glinda’s private sky bubble. Keep it green to honor the Emerald City, but don’t worry—I’ve got options for you! Here are a few four-course menus you could try:
Cozy & Classic
- Appetizer: Chips + guacamole with lime wedges
- Main Dish: Creamy pesto pasta topped with grilled chicken
- Side: Roasted green beans with parmesan
- Dessert: Mint chocolate chip ice cream with hot fudge drizzle
Fresh & Fun
- Appetizer: Cucumber bites with herbed cream cheese
- Main Dish: Teriyaki salmon over jasmine rice with sautéed bok choy
- Side: Edamame tossed with sea salt
- Dessert: Key lime pie or mini key lime cheesecakes
Comfort Food Twist
- Appetizer: Spinach artichoke dip with bread rounds
- Main Dish: Spinach + mozzarella stuffed chicken breasts
- Side: Garlic mashed potatoes with chives
- Dessert: Pistachio pudding parfaits with whipped cream
Want to take your Emerald City dinner to the next level? Try serving it up on pink and green plates for an instant Wicked vibe! 💚💗 It’s such an easy way to make the theme pop, and it adds that playful, over-the-top touch that makes date night feel extra special. I found some cute options on Amazon so you don’t have to go hunting. Just picture your pesto pasta on a vibrant green plate with your spouse’s guac + chips on a soft pink one. It’s a detail that makes the whole table feel magical!
And just for fun—he wears green (Team Elphaba), she wears pink (Team Glinda). It’s a cheesy little detail that makes everything more playful!
Wicked Movie Magic
Once dinner is done, it’s time to transport yourselves straight to Oz. You’ve got options here, too!
- In Theaters: If Wicked Part Two is out, head to the theater in style. You could even buy or DIY matching Wicked shirts (green “Defy Gravity” for one, pink “Popular” for the other) to make it extra special.
- At Home: Queue up Wicked Part One or any stage recording you can get your hands on. Want to take it up a notch? Create your own a Wicked Bingo card for the two of you to play along with. Squares could include “Glinda tosses her hair,” “Elphaba hits a crazy high note,” “Mention of the Wizard,” and “Glitter moment.” You can even find some fun Wicked Bingo cards on Etsy!
Winner gets a kiss…or maybe something even better!
Get Wicked Together
When the final note fades, don’t let the magic stop there—keep the Wicked vibe alive at home! Light some green or pink candles to bring a touch of Emerald City glow into your space, then slip into each other’s arms for a slow dance in the kitchen to “For Good.”
From there, it’s your cue to get a little “wicked.” Maybe that looks like cuddling up with mugs of hot cocoa, or maybe it means spicing things up with something more playful… possibly while wearing green or pink lingerie, depending on if you’re more of an Elphaba or Glinda!
(Heads up: Amazon sellers can change their listings anytime, so while we strive to pick model-free items, what you see may vary!)
The encore is completely up to you! 😉
How About An Encore?
So there you have it! A date night that’s playful, magical, and just a little bit wicked. From Emerald City eats to a love story worthy of Broadway, this date will have you laughing, singing, and connecting in all the best ways!
