Wicked Director Jon M. Chu can really relate to Elphaba.
While speaking of the month of American Asian heritage and the Pacific islanders, Jon shared that he knows what it is to be a stranger.
“We are talking about a girl who is judged by the color of her skin. For me, it’s so many people. I know what it is to be a stranger. People.
He continued: “I know what it does so that people always tell me:” Don’t complain. Just keep your emotions under control. “And I also know the feeling of when I have to let go and be like:” No, now we have to be noisy. “”
He also shared an overview of his working difficulties, saying: “It was the trip, perhaps to this point, to be honest. It was a 40-year trip to be an artist, to find confidence to express themselves and speak, and all that in Elphaba.”
Jon M. CHU Wicked Part 1 won the Oscars, Golden Globes and Critics Choice Awards and with Ariana Grande, 31, as Glinda and Cynthia Erivo, 38, as Elphaba.
