Jon M. Chu, the director of Wicked, has a genuine affinity for Elphaba.
Jon mentioned that he understands what it’s like to be an outsider during the Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month.
“The girl in question is being evaluated based only on the color of her skin. That seems like the narrative of a lot of individuals to me. I understand what it’s like to be alienated. to constantly feel as like you must prove yourself, to be scrutinized and assessed right away,” he told People.
“I understand what it’s like to have people constantly tell me, ‘Just don’t complain,'” he added. Simply maintain emotional self-control.
