Chu teased that the sequel “takes us past the point where the girl in the blue gingham dress from Kansas drops in,” hinting at the film’s ties to the classic “The Wizard of Oz.” Grande and Erivo expressed their gratitude for the support they’ve received since the first film’s release, which grossed $744 million globally and earned 10 Academy Award nominations. Platt revealed that the success of the movie adaptation has boosted interest in the Broadway show, which is experiencing its highest grosses ever in its 22nd year.
