Jon M. Chu is talking all things . ET's Lauren Zima spoke to the 42-year-old director at the 2022  Oscar Party on Sunday, and he said that he'd be more than happy to welcome original Broadway stars Kristin Chenoweth and Idina Menzel into the film version he's helming.«The door is always open.

Are you kidding?» Chu said. «I'm not gonna say anything. I'm not gonna do anything yet, but of course that original cast is amazing.

They've been so gracious… They’ve only been supportive and kind.»When ET spoke to Chenoweth earlier this month, she expressed interest in appearing in the flick. «You never know,» she said. «I think I would be great on Yellow Brick Road somewhere.

And Idina Menzel agrees.»In the film version of the Broadway musical, Ariana Grande will take on Chenoweth's role of Glinda, while Cynthia Erivo will play Elphaba, the role originated by Menzel.«I feel great about both choices,» Chenoweth said. «I have known Grande since she was 10, so Ariana, I am very very proud of you.
