“I think the fans of the original musical should prepare to get their minds blown,” he told E! News.
“It’s such a psychologically rich material,” he shared about the film adaptation. “And we know it as really exciting theater with an incredible score and amazing numbers, but when you put it on film, the reality of these characters and the nuances of their psychology, it’s just going to blow everyone’s mind.”
He adds, “The production values are amazing.”
If you need more incentive to see the movies, he said, “I mean, who doesn’t want Michelle Yeoh and everyone else sort of dancing around and singing? It’s gonna be amazing.”
