Every attendee at Caesar’s Colosseum were given a faux tulip at their seat which lit up in varying colors, in particular pink and green, creating a great visual before Jeff Goldblum aka the Wizard took the stage to introduce Chu and producer Marc Platt. Directed by Jon M. Chu, the big-screen adaptation of the stage musical tells the untold story of the Witches of Oz, based on the bestselling novel by Gregory Maguire, originally based on L.
