Well, the rumors are true about Sunset Blvd. Nicole Sherzinger gives the most commanding performance I have ever seen on a stage. And the directing is truly next level.

Jon Chu is a brilliant director, so take my opinions with a grain of salt, but the decision to mute colors in ‘Wicked’ was a bad one. Glossy, insta filter vibes are endemic to most blockbusters these days. ‘Crazy Rich Asians’ and ‘In the Heights’ are vibrant and colorful, so I dunno what happened.

Director Jon M. Chu says the color grading for ‘Wicked’ is meant to make Oz feel real: “What we wanted to do was immerse people into Oz, to make it a real place. […] It’s also [presented in] a way we have not experienced Oz before.”
