The retailer’s website will offer a brand experience including green and pink motifs, custom video content, and themed animations such as flickering torches, crawling vines, and flower blooms, along with information on events at local stores, items coming soon, launches, and pre-orders.
Most of the 150-plus products in Target’s Wicked collection debuted Oct. 6, and nearly 70% of those items are exclusive to the retail giant.
Highlights include exclusive accessories and clothing by Wicked costume designer Paul Tazewell, as well as a host of items priced under $5 (capes, crowns, journals, play wands, totes, tumblers).
