“Wicked,” written by Winnie Holzman and Dana Fox, stars Cynthia Erivo as the green-skinned Elphaba Thropp, who becomes the Wicked Witch of the West, and Ariana Grande as Galinda, the future Good Witch of the South. “‘The Wizard of Oz’ had such an influence of my own family — an immigrant family that came to America with these dreams,” says Chu, whose parents were born in Taiwan and China. “We’re going through such a changing period in our culture, and this hit it so on the nose — that change is difficult, that the Yellow Brick Road may not be the path for all of us."
Erivo, who was already won a Tony, Grammy and Emmy, and been nominated for an Oscar, was an easier call.
