Newborn babies at a Pittsburgh hospital are "Wicked" cute.

To celebrate the upcoming release of "Wicked: For Good," the highly anticipated sequel to last year's musical blockbuster "Wicked," two newborn babies at Allegheny Health Network's Forbes Hospital dressed up as Glinda the Good and Elphaba.

"On behalf of AHN, we wish them the happiest of (belated) birthdays, and hope they pay tribute to the green and pink by dancing through life and defying gravity, every step of the way," Allegheny Health Network wrote in a press release.

"Wicked: For Good" stars Ariana Grande as Glinda and Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba alongside Pittsburgh native Jeff Goldblum, who plays The Wizard.
