He added a note to his new addition: âWelcome to our world, youâre gonna do great. You have a lot of witches on your side.â 
 
âWickedâ stars singer Ariana Grande and Oscar-nominated actress Cynthia Erivo star as witches Glinda and Elphaba, respectively. The two-part movie is a cinematic adaptation of the famed Broadway musical, which is a prequel to âThe Wizard of Ozâ and tells an alternate version of events in Oz before Dorothyâs arrival. 
Chu may not have been able to physically attend the premiere but his presence was felt. 
 
According to footage from inside the theater posted online, a video of Chu speaking from the hospital was played before the movie began. 
 
âIâve waited for three years to have this moment to share a movie with you but Iâve waited my whole life to have this moment, to have a fifth child right now,â he said in the video, as the audience was heard collectively âaww-ingâ at the sentiment. 
 
With a laugh, Chu added that âof course, this little girl knows when to show up.â 
 
Jonathan Bailey, Bowen Yang, Ethan Slater, Michelle Yeoh and Jeff Goldblum round out the ensemble cast. 
 
Part one of âWickedâ will soar in theaters on November 22. The second film is expected in November 2025.
