In this week’s Sunday Sitdown, Grammy, Tony and Emmy-winning actor Cynthia Erivo joins Willie Geist to talk about starring as the green-skinned witch Elphaba alongside her friend Ariana Grande in the highly-anticipated movie musical “Wicked.”
Director Jon M. Chu and his wife, Kristin Hodge, expanded their family by one more, welcoming the birth of their daughter on Nov. 9. Her birth coincided with another big moment in Chu's life: the Los Angeles premiere of “Wicked,” a musical fantasy film he directed that was produced by Universal Pictures, which is owned by NBCUniversal, TODAY’s parent company.
Chu also gave fans a first glimpse of his newborn daughter, sharing a sweet video of his wife holding their baby on her chest in the hospital. The video was fittingly set to a piano rendition of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.” “I can’t believe this happened while the movie is premiering. Magic is in the air,” Chu wrote on the video. “Happy Premiere Day!! Welcome to our world, you’re gonna do great. You have a lot of witches on your side.
