‘I think I’m going bankrupt,’ shout Primark shoppers as Wicked merchandise lands
WICKED is tipped as the film of the season.
Based on the hit musical and starring pop Princess Ariana Grande, the £111million blockbuster opens in a few weeks.
Fans of the stage show – which tells the story of the improbable friendship between the green ‘wicked witch’ Elpheba and lover of all things pink and sparkling Glinda the Good – can’t wait to see it on the big screen.
And now they can’t wait to get their hands on Wicked-themed merchandise, which is hitting the shelves in everyone’s budget fashion favorite Primark.
Staff at the brand’s Braehead store showed off some of the gravity-defying swag with the caption: “The Land Of Oz Is In Primark Braehead.”
And shoppers are going wild about it.
Among the goodies on offer are adorable Wicked pajamas: a set for each of the two main characters in their signature green and pink colors. There are also crop tops, t-shirts and sweatshirts, all with images of Elpheba and Glinda.
In the meantime, there are some must-have accessories for fans of the Wizard of Oz prequel.
By carrying case bags and her clips for phone cases and drinks cups, there’s an array of eerily beautiful pieces to buy. There’s even a themed seven-day advent calendar.
Primark regular customers are now saving to issue the goods.
One said: “I think I’m going bankrupt.”
While someone else is planning to wear the clothes she bought to see the movie when it comes out on November 22.
She said, “I have the pink angry crop top and I’m going to wear it to see the movie with my green cargo pants.”
Another simply shouted: “Omg, omg, omg.”
While a fourth gushed: “Another reason I need to go to Primark – Love Bad.”
Meanwhile, Primark has just announced the exact date when a huge new store will open in Glasgow Fort.
