‘ Wicked ’ worldwide premiere tour lands in London ahead of film release, director Jon M. Chu promises an emotional spectacle
The London leg tour, with previous stops in Sydney, Los Angeles, Mexico City and New York, was called “Emerald City,” and featured a green carpet flanked with decorations inspired by the capital city of the Land of Oz. Chu was happy to soak in the atmosphere after missing the Los Angeles premiere due to the birth of his fifth child.
“Wicked” is based on Stephen Schwartz’s musical of the same name, adapted from the 1995 book by Gregory Maguire. It tells the story of the green-skinned young woman Elphaba who goes on to become the Wicked Witch of the West from the classic children’s novel “The Wizard of Oz”.“This is Wizard of Oz, this is Oz. It’s iconic in cinematic history. We didn’t want to disappoint,” said Chu.
