Stars Shine Bright at Wicked Movie Screening Event in North Bay
A special event took place during a screening of the new Wicked movie in the North Bay, where Cynthia Ervio, Ariana Grande, and director Jon M. Chu made an appearance at the Smith Rafael Film Center in San Rafael. The audience had the opportunity to ask questions to the stars, who shared insights about their roles as Glinda and Elphaba in the film. Ervio and Grande emphasized their mutual respect for each other as individuals and performers, which they believe contributes to their best work.
Director Jon M. Chu, a Bay Area native from Palo Alto, also participated in the event. He later sat down for an exclusive interview with NBC Bay Area's Janelle Wang, providing further insights into the making of the movie and his experiences in the industry. The interview will be aired on NBC Bay Area News at 5 p.m. on Thursday.
