00:00Are your glasses Wicked themed? Are you all in green and pink these days?
00:05Underneath, I am. Inside, I am. I'm pink some places and I'm green some places too.
00:13How are you feeling about we're finally getting close to the release here?
00:17I'm all of Twitter. Yes, you know that song from Guys and Dolls?
00:23Ask me how do I feel now that Wicked is coming out in the theaters?
00:27Because if I were a bell, I'd go ding, dong, ding, dong, ding.
00:33That's it. Thank you.
00:36Do you feel like... Do you sing show tunes yourself?
00:38I don't, but I can't wait to see you guys sing them.
00:41Well, me, you know, Ariana Grande, Cynthia Arrivo, Jonathan Bailey, Michelle Yeoh, John M. Chu,
00:49you will see tonight, I believe, and Ariana and Cynthia, I think, are here.
00:53So, you know, I'm a dung beetle on the wheel of a great, great something.
00:59I forget.
01:00Is Gladiator and Wicked going to be the next Barbenheimer, do we feel like?
01:05I don't know.
01:06But Paul Muskell, Gladiator 2.
01:10I can't wait to see him here tonight.
01:12I've never seen him in the flesh.
01:14I can't wait to offer my hearty handshake, and congratulations.
01:19What a grand and great and inspirational model, artist, human he is.
01:25And so, Gladiator 2, I'm going to be there after I see my Wicked.
01:29I'll be there several times.
01:32And we're celebrating the museum tonight.
01:34Do you have a prop or a costume from a past movie that you would kind of love to see pop up in this museum?
01:39Hey, good question, Chuba.
01:43Let me see, a prop or a costume?
01:47Well, I'm thinking I'm just going backwards to forwards in my most recent memory.
01:51So, Wicked, Paul Tazwell, that name rings out like a bell.
01:59What a great artist he is.
02:01And wait until you see what he's put me in and everybody else.
02:07Golly, he's good.
02:08So, that Wicked costume, I'll bet you've already seen it around, little, you know, representations of it.
02:13It is something.
02:14I had it on my body.
02:16It's something.
02:17So, sure, you know, I can imagine being here or many places.
02:21Let's see, what else?
02:23Well, Chaos, I did that Chaos.
02:24Is that, yeah, you know, I wore running suits for that.
02:27But, you know, pretty good.
02:29Jurassic Park?
02:30Jurassic Park, yes, yes, yes.
02:32I had something like that.
02:35And then Jurassic Park and Grandmaster, you know, what's it called?
02:40Thor Ragnarok?
02:41Yeah, I had a bit of a gown of some kind.
02:45Let me see, let me see.
02:47You know, yeah, yeah.
02:48I've gussied up for a few of those.
02:50And props, well, you know.
02:54And we're nearing the end of the year here.
02:56Wicked aside, do you have a favorite movie of the year so far?
02:59Well, let me see.
03:00We're in 2024.
03:01You'd have to give me the list.
03:02I'd have to, because I see movies from every decade and era, so they're all swimming around in my brain such as it is.
03:09So, God, I'd have to remind myself of what came out this year.
03:14I know, I'm trying to think.
03:15Well, where, where?
03:16I mean, Dune is one of my favorites.
03:18Oh, okay, stop right there.
03:20Okay.
03:20Denis Villeneuve, I think I'm pronouncing that correctly, is going to be here tonight.
03:24I can't wait to see him and give him a hug and an appropriate smooch on each French cheek of his.
03:31I think that's what I can do.
03:33Hey, he's fantastic.
03:35And I love those, I love those books, you know.
03:37I was a big, big, I was into those books, and I'm a big Dune fan, and he really, I love what he did.
03:44I love his movies.
03:44I love Arrival.
03:45I love many, many things that he's done.
03:48Thank you so much.
03:49Have fun tonight.
03:50I can't thank you enough.
03:50The gratitude is all on my side.
03:52Thank you, reporter.
03:54Always happy to chat.
