She was changed for good. Amanda Seyfried was rehearsing for her Wicked movie audition while playing Elizabeth Holmes on Hulu’s The Dropout.
The Mean Girls star, 36, was asked about the craziest thing she’s done to secure a role during an interview with Backstage published on Tuesday, July 19, and her answer came as a major surprise to fans. “I have dreams that I’m still auditioning for Wicked,” Seyfried said. “Last summer, while I was playing Elizabeth on the weekends, I was auditioning in person to play Glinda in the movie version of Wicked — because I wanted it that much that I was like, ‘You know what? Yeah, I have to play the last scene of The Dropout on Tuesday. I’ll give my Sunday to you.'”
The Mamma Mia! actress added, “I literally bent over backwards while playing the hardest role of my life.”
Ultimately, the role of the Good Witch went to Ariana Grande, who will star opposite Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba in Jon M. Chu‘s film adaptation of the hit musical. While she wasn’t successful, Seyfried said she was grateful for going through the grueling process.
“I think it also taught me how far I’ve come as a singer, which I really wanted to prove,” the Emmy nominee told the outlet. “Because ever since [2012’s Les Misérables], I was like, ‘I need to be better. I need to do better.’ So, whatever comes next in terms of musicals, I’m finally prepared.”
The 29-year-old Nickelodeon alum, for her part, announced her involvement in the Wicked movie in November 2021 but details have been kept fairly secret about the production. The film will debut in two parts, with the first expected to hit theaters in 2024.
Fans of the musical are eager to see how it will come to life on the big screen, and OG Glinda Kristin Chenoweth has no doubt
