Jon M. Chu Misses ‘Wicked’ Premiere for Birth of Fifth Child
Jon M. Chu missed the Los Angeles premiere of "Wicked" because his wife went into labor.
The director of the two-part musical epic couldn’t make the starry Los Angeles event because his wife gave birth to their fifth child, a girl, on Saturday, Nov. 9 — the same day as the pink-and-green premiere. Adapted from the beloved Broadway musical, the story takes place before during and after “The Wizard of Oz” and follows an unlikely friendship that’s torn apart by external forces. The cast also includes Jonathan Bailey as Fiyero, Michelle Yeoh as Shiz University headmaster Madame Morrible, Ethan Slater as Boq and Bowen Yang as Pfannee.
