Darci Lynne and her sassy sidekick Petunia, are brewing up a storm in the land of Oz, and it is every bit as magical as you’d imagine. Their viral short has Wicked fans doing a double-take because it captures the hilarious, high-tension energy of Broadway’s favorite rivals with a fresh, ventriloquist twist.
It’s the kind of performance that makes you wonder if these two were actually the inspiration for the show all along!
Wait, is wicked actually about us??? | Darci Lynne
In this clip, Darci and Petunia dive into a famously frosty duet. The scene is set with a cheeky caption: “Wait, is wicked actually about us??” This perfectly tees up the “unadulterated loathing” they share on screen. While the vocals are absolutely top-tier, it’s the character work that really shines.
Petunia brings her signature diva energy while Darci manages to play the straight man to her own puppet’s antics. Between the pink and green lighting and the seamless vocal swaps, they perfectly channel the iconic friction between Elphaba and Glinda. It’s a masterclass in staying in character while hitting every comedic beat.
But the “loathing” didn’t just appear out of thin air. To truly appreciate their hilarious rivalry, you have to see where it started.
In an earlier, full-length tribute, Petunia fully embraces her inner Glinda, deciding that Darci is a “project” that needs her expert help. This performance is a brilliant setup for their later bickering, showing Petunia at her most helpful (and slightly conceited).

Seeing her attempt to teach Darci the “proper poise” makes their eventual shift to singing about “loathing” each other even more satisfying for fans.
Together, these videos offer a catchy and character-driven journey through the world of Wicked. Whether they are trying to be popular or just plain annoyed with one another, this duo is clearly having the time of their lives in Oz. You’ll definitely want to head over and see their “wicked” chemistry in action for yourself!
