About this listen
This week, we’re heading back to Oz with acclaimed director Jon M. Chu, the visionary behind Crazy Rich Asians, In the Heights, Wicked, and now its sequel, Wicked: For Good. Jon opens up about the emotional and creative journey of adapting one of America’s most beloved and most reinterpreted stories. He talks about friendship, the meaning of home, the power of musical storytelling, and how becoming a father reshaped the way he sees the world. From the magical specificity that Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande brought to their roles to exploring the deeper truths beneath the spectacle, this conversation is full of magic, meaning, and heart.
