Crafting On-Screen Magic with Wicked Producer Marc Platt
To Marc Platt, producing is not just about stories that entertain but that are aspirational and celebratory. Whether it’s the determination of Elle Woods in Legally Blonde, the passion of Sebastian and Mia in La La Land, or the powerful friendship between Glinda and Elphaba in Wicked, his work reminds us how courage and collaboration turn stories into cultural touchstones everyone can relate to.
In this episode of Seen on the Screen, Jacqueline Coley sits down with the award–winning producer to explore how stories evolve from page to stage and screen. Marc shares how Wicked grew from Gregory Maguire’s novel to a Broadway phenomenon, and how it ultimately became two feature films shot at the same time. He reflects on working with visionary directors like Jon M. Chu, Damien Chazelle, and Edgar Wright, and the singular Steven Spielberg. Marc shares the pressure and joy of adapting beloved stories and how his own family has been a creative compass throughout his career.
