The long-awaited Wicked movie is finally flying into theaters on November 22, 2024, and we’re practically green with excitement! Let us rejoicify that goodness and get ready to defy gravity at your Wicked movie premier parties with this Oz-some Wicked Charcuterie Board that’ll transport your taste buds straight to the Emerald City.

Charcuterie board inspired in Wicked movie.


But first, let’s talk about why this movie is such a big deal! If you’re new to Wicked and the land of Oz, here’s what you need to know: This award-winning Broadway musical sensation has been casting its spell on audiences since 2003, picking up awards and breaking records along the way.

Based on Gregory Maguire’s novel Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, Wicked tells the untold story of the Wicked Witch of the West and Glinda the Good Witch before Dorothy and Toto arrive in Oz. It follows the unlikely friendship between the misunderstood, green-skinned Elphaba and the popular Glinda as they navigate rivalry, friendship, and corruption in Oz. Through their journey, they confront questions of good and evil, asking the age old question “are people born Wicked? Or do they have Wickedness thrust upon them?” and discovering that appearances aren’t always what they seem.

Wondering Who’s Casting a Spell in the Wicked Movie? We did, too… so here’s the inside scoop!

Ariana Grande takes on the bubbly role of Glinda the Good Witch, while Cynthia Erivo brings her powerhouse vocals to Elphaba. And who’s the mysterious heartthrob Fiyero? None other than Bridgerton’s Jonathan Bailey. You’ll also see Ethan Slater as Boq, Michelle Yeoh as the ever-eccentric Madame Morrible, and Jeff Goldblum as the larger-than-life Wizard. Rounding out the cast are Peter Dinklage as Dr. Dillamond and Marissa Bode as Nessarose. With a lineup like this, the magic practically leaps off the screen!

Wicked Charcuterie Board Ingredients

  • Green Apple – For Elphaba’s face, place a single green apple on your board. Green apples offer a crisp texture and tart flavor, rich in fiber and vitamin C to boost immunity and heart health.
  • Blackberries – Craft a witchy hat and dress for Elphaba using these delicious blackberries. Fun fact: They’re loaded with vitamin C, fiber, and are great for heart, brain, and digestive health!
  • Snow Peas or Sugar Snap Peas – Fill in the board with these greens to bring out Elphaba’s iconic hue. They’re a tasty, crunchy snack packed with vitamin C, fiber, and immune-boosting benefits.
  • White Cheddar Cheese – Add some tasty white cheddar slices to the other side of the board for a rich, cheesy balance.
  • Pistachios – Sprinkle on some pistachios for a satisfying salty crunch. Did you know pistachios have antioxidants and protein to support vision, digestion, and heart health?
  • WICKED Letters – Get creative with your food art! Spell out “WICKED” using slices of cheese or apple.

Our Wicked-inspired charcuterie board is packed with fresh, vibrant produce, bringing a deliciously healthy twist to your movie night snacks.

Wicked Charcuterie Board Variations

Feeling inspired? Here are a few fun twists on this board to match your own style and tastes, letting you create your own Oz-worthy masterpiece with a blend of flavors and colors that speak to both Elphaba, Glinda and the vibrancy of the Emerald City. 

  • Blueberries – No blackberries? No problem! Blueberries make a fabulous, juicy substitute for the witchy dress and hat, providing antioxidants that support brain health and fight inflammation.
  • Pecans or Almonds – Pistachios can sometimes be a splurge. Swap them with almonds or pecans for a tasty twist, adding a boost of healthy fats, fiber, and antioxidants that support heart health and help keep you feeling full longer.
  • Cheese or Apple Slices – Don’t have white cheddar on hand? No worries! Also, you can use other cheese or green apple slices, as cheese provides calcium and protein for strong bones, while apples are packed with fiber and antioxidants to support digestive health and boost immunity.
