Tokyo's Grand Prince Hotel Shin Takanawa is offering a "WICKED" Spring Afternoon Tea, inspired by the movie's release in Japan on March 7th, 2025. This exclusive experience will be available from the movie's opening day until the end of April, and it celebrates the world of the iconic musical centered on the rivalry and friendship between the two witches, Elphaba and Glinda.
The afternoon tea will be served in Lounge Momiji, with the dishes incorporating spring colors of pink and green alongside cherry blossoms which are prominent in the movie’s visuals.
The menu includes a variety of treats, such as a berry cream puff (representing Glinda’s sparkling pink style) and a bamboo charcoal waffle cone filled with chocolate cream (symbolizing Elphaba’s green hat). Other delicacies include sakura-flavored desserts such as a cherry mousse and pistachio gateau, plus savory items like a green mashed potato sandwich and lasagna.
With Ariana Grande cast as Glinda and Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba in the film, this event ties into the renewed excitement around the Wicked universe. Guests can indulge in this afternoon tea while anticipating the film's dramatic tale of Elphaba and Glinda’s journey, from rival roommates to world-changing allies. The tea is priced at 6300 JPY per person, with a variety of drinks to complement the experience.
Reservations for the event can be made online via the hotel's website here.
