  • Chu has attended multiple Wicked screenings and found the sound level too low, recommending theaters turn it up to a '7' for the intended experience.
  • Wicked co-writer Dana Fox backed Chu's request, noting they increased the volume by a 'clock tick' at a recent screening and it was 'perfect.'
