Exploring the Magic and Legacy of 'Wicked': From Tulips to Stars

For the film adaptation of the Broadway musical 'Wicked,' director Jon M. Chu and production designer Nathan Crowley opted for practical sets, including a field of nine million tulips for Munchkinland. Despite initial resistance to using real flowers instead of visual effects, Crowley collaborated with tulip farmer Mark Eves in Norfolk, England, to grow the tulips, which were used as a vibrant backdrop in the film. After filming, the tulip bulbs were replanted for future growth, and Belmont Farms will open to the public next April to showcase the tulips and Munchkinland.
