We’re counting down the days until Wicked: For Good hits theaters on November 21—and it’s not just because of the star-studded cast, sing-along-worthy songs and jaw-dropping costumes.

Part of Wicked’s magic comes from the world of Oz itself. And now, Airbnb is giving fans a chance to step inside that world with “Elphaba’s Retreat,” a whimsical replica of Elphaba Thropp’s hideaway from the film.

Nestled in an enchanted forest, the cozy retreat features a fire pit, tea area, starlit bed and—even better—a collection of Elphaba’s iconic belongings, including her hat, broom and cherished Grimmerie.

One lucky guest (plus a friend) will get to spend a full day and night at the fantastical retreat (that's actually located in Thousand Oaks, CA) from December 6–7, 2025.

But the magic doesn’t stop there. Up to 20 additional fans will get an exclusive three-hour experience at the retreat with Cynthia Erivo, the Grammy, Emmy, Tony-winning, and three-time Academy Award nominee who brings Elphaba to life, on December 3.

“Elphaba taught me that our differences are what makes us powerful,” Cynthia said. “Her story transformed me, and I can’t wait to share that journey with you.”

Interested? Fans can request to book the free experience, Unlock Elphaba’s Wicked Retreat with Cynthia Erivo, here. Requests are open now at $0 per person, and submissions close November 13 at 7 a.m. PT.
