""And then the internet got to tell me how wrong I was," he said. "And then I got to hold that secret ... I knew we were doing the right thing for five years. And now they know.""
""I always remember that first experience," he said. "I protect that dearly. Because I knew making this movie would be what a lot of people out there watching 'Wicked' for the first time would experience.""
A screening of Wicked: For Good at the Smith Rafael Film Center featured a post-screening Q&A with director Jon Chu and stars Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo. Chris Columbus moderated the conversation, asking about character craft, child stardom and directorial choices. Chu explained that two screenplay versions existed when he signed on—a one-film and a two-film option—and defended choosing two films to avoid cutting too much and to preserve a complete experience. Chu recalled first seeing Wicked at San Francisco’s Curran Theatre and said he protects that memory to recreate a first-time audience experience.
