Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo as Glinda and Elphaba in Wicked

Stay Connected to Your Dreams

Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo team up with Xfinity to show the (yellow brick) roads that led the two Wicked stars to their dream roles as Glinda and Elphaba. 

Our LA VFX team crafted spell-binding visuals for the spot ranging from the CG yellow brick road to Glinda’s dress animation and Elphaba’s green skin transformation.
