Actress Amanda Seyfried revealed that she was auditioning for the role of Glinda in the film version of “Wicked”.
Amanda Seyfried was vying for the role of Glinda.
The films “In the Heights” and “Crazy Rich! directed by John M. Chu, known for his films “In the Heights” and “Crazy Rich!”, “Wicked” features Ariana Grande as Glinda, the good witch of the South, and Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba, the bad witch of the West.
The two-part “Wicked” will be released in the U.S. on December 25, 2024 and December 25, 2025, and the two leads also won their roles through auditions rather than being offered them, and they all got their roles on their own.
It was discovered that an actor had participated in the audition for the role of Glinda in “Wicked. It was Amanda Scifrid, an actor known for her roles in “Mamma Mia” and other films. Amanda, who has proven she can sing in “Les Miserables” and other productions, had her sights set on Ariana’s role of Glinda, and she auditioned for the role while filming “Dropout: The Woman Who Cheated Silicon Valley,” a drama she starred in and produced, which is now available on Disney Plus. In an interview with Backstage, she said that she had participated in the audition.
She even hired a vocal trainer for the audition.
Amanda said of her audition for the role of Glinda, “I gave it my all, playing the most difficult role of my life,” she said, “but I felt like it showed me how far I had come as a singer, and I wanted to prove it. Since “Les Miserables,” I knew I had to get better. I wanted to be ready to take on the next musical production when it came around,” she said.
Amanda apparently hired a vocal trainer and others to seriously audition for the role, and sent a tape of her singing the song “Popular” from the play to director John. However, she did not get the result she wanted, and this time Ariana won.
