Wicked is currently the world’s most in-demand film, and fans are going wild for iconic characters Glinda and Elphaba, portrayed by Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo.
Whether you’re team Elphie or lean towards the “Popular” pink vibe, Primark has got enthusiasts sorted with its fresh merchandise line, which includes a viral set of pyjamas.
The collection boasts an emerald green pair featuring a long-sleeved top, gold accents, ‘Elphaba Thrope’ emblazoned on the back, and a witch’s hat motif on the front. There’s also a charming light pink version with ‘Glinda Upland’ printed on the reverse.
Both the top and bottoms, promising a “comfy night’s sleep”, are tagged at £16 apiece or £32 for the full set, available in sizes XXS to XXL.
Fans have been buzzing about the pyjamas after a Wicked fan, Lauren Batty, showcased them up close in-store on TikTok, prompting her to advise fellow devotees to “run to Primark” to snag a pair.
She found them in Manchester city centre and Sheffield’s Meadowhall, while reporter Lucy Marshall spotted them at Trinity Shopping Centre in Leeds.
The comments section was ablaze with excitement, with one fan declaring: “I need these so bad.”
Another chimed in: “They look soft,” and yet another pleaded: “Please, I want the Glinda one it’s so me.”
“They’re so cute,” praised a futher shopper, while someone else exclaimed: “Oh my God, I need,”
Nonetheless, the hefty price tag has left some potential purchasers stunned, with one remarking: “£32 I don’t think so.” Someone else echoed: “The price is crazy,” while another agreed: “I genuinely thought you were joking until I looked again.”
“Expensive tat from Primark yet again,” another bemoaned. While someone else simply exclaimed: “£32 I don’t think so.” A further shopper moaned: “Primark pjs are so expensive.”
Some astute shoppers noted they had spotted Wicked themed pyjamas at Asda and Marks and Spencer, which might offer better value.
In addition to the debated pyjamas, Primark has introduced a range of Wicked merchandise including a travel cup, tote bag, hoodie, oversized T-shirt, sweatshirt, nightshirt, Witches of Oz short pyjamas, Glinda short pyjamas, makeup bags, compact mirror, trinket dish, and more.
