“It feels like we’re coming home,” producer Marc Platt said onstage at Odeon Luxe Leicester Square. “And as you know, there’s no place like home. The house of these Wicked films was built, brick by brick, by the heart of an extraordinary filmmaker filled with imagination and talent and craft and humanity.”
As Chu took to the mic, he told the audience: “It feels good to share this, finally, with you. Sometimes making something that feels really big and and dreaming bigger than you’ve ever dreamed before can feel lonely, but we were just outside [on the carpet] on that yellow brick road, and I had Cynthia and Ari and Johnny and we linked arm to arm, which we’ve never done before. Suddenly that delusion that we had is very, very real and I’m so lucky I get to share this movie with you guys.”
