"I had the chance to preview the experience (sans Cynthia, unfortunately), and as a fan myself, I couldn't help but geek out at this seriously well-crafted slice of Oz. As I, and the rest of the world, wait eagerly for Wicked: For Good, it felt extra exciting to prance around this excellent recreation and imagine how Elphaba spent her time in between the two movies."
"The retreat is located in Thousand Oaks, California, just past the celebrity-filled areas of Calabasas and Hidden Hills. Tucked away on an acres-large farm, Elphaba's retreat is a bit difficult to find (as we imagine it would have been in Oz)-so beware of getting lost on Google Maps-but once you're inside the farm gates, the journey's final 10-minute drive up an all-terrain path seems as if it were pulled right from your Wicked imaginations."
Elphaba's Retreat sits on a secluded Thousand Oaks farm just beyond Calabasas and Hidden Hills, reached via an all-terrain ten-minute drive. A small stack of yellow bricks marks the entrance. A massive nest-like structure serves as the central space containing real movie props: Elphaba's black pointy hat, her signature glasses, the Grimmerie, and her broomstick displayed with dried flowers. An FBI-style corkboard with pamphlets and newspapers hangs on the wall. A canopy-style bed built from twisted branches and a central living area open to a vast lookout with expansive views. Guests can spend hours wandering, touching, and absorbing every detail.
