Director Jon M Chu's Wicked became one of his biggest hits, grossing more than $500 at the global box office after being made on a $150 budget.
Chu's other renowned works include Crazy Rich Asians, In the Heights, Step Up 2: The Streets, and others.
Since the success of Wicked gave him worldwide recognition, Chu's been intrigued to develop more musical projects. In an interview with Comic Book Resources, the acclaimed director spoke about his future plans and the musical projects he's 'already' working on.
"I'm already developing Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, which is one of my favorites from growing up,' he revealed. Chu teased that they are yet to build a script but the process of collaborating with music composer Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber and songwriter Sir Tim Rice has been 'like a dream.'
The Broadway musical based on the biblical character Joseph from the Bible's Book of Genesis premiered in 1982 and included lyrics of these music legends. Apart from creating live-action musicals, Chu is ready to dip his toes into animation musicals and his project on the line is the graphic adaptation of Dr. Seuss's book, Oh, the Places You'll Go.
