The 2024 musical fantasy film Wicked<\/em>, with Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, was a massive hit. They played the roles of Elphaba Thropp and Galinda Upland respectively.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The film had as many as 7 BAFTA nominations and 10 Oscar nominations this year, it was one of the biggest Hollywood films of 2024.<\/p>\n

Amanda Seyfried recently revealed on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, about auditioning with Cynthia Erivo for Wicked<\/em>, for the role of Glinda. Recalling what an honour it was, she called it a moment in itself and also spoke about the lessons she had learnt.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Talking about how Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again <\/em>was also happening, Seyfried hoped that the change in the scheduling would make it possible for her to do both films.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

She said, “I knew that movie was happening, Mamma Mia! 2 <\/em>ended up happening. They were trying to make both movies, and they were just scheduling them.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Amanda added, “I was like, ‘Oh, wait, it’s gonna get pushed. This might work for me, you know, timing-wise.’ I knew Wicked <\/em>was coming, so I was able to prepare. And I’m telling you, I’ve never felt that solid in my voice than I did at the auditions. And that’s, kind of, what I got out of it.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Speaking about how grateful she is for the opportunity to audition with Cynthia Erivo, Amanda said, “I do, again, think everything happens for a reason. I mean, that’s beautiful. We listen to Defying Gravity<\/em>\u00a0every day. It’s funny though, like, I also got to sing with Cynthia and, like, that was a moment in itself.”<\/p>\n

She also revealed her prep for Wicked<\/em> while filming The Dropout<\/em> at the same time.<\/p>\n

Seyfried told Backstage<\/em>, “Last summer while I was playing Elizabeth (on The Dropout<\/em>), on the weekends I was auditioning in person to play Glinda in the movie version of Wicked<\/em>,\u00a0because I wanted it that much. I bent over backwards while playing the hardest role of my life. But I think it also taught me how far I’ve come as a singer, which I wanted to prove. Because ever since Les Miz<\/em>, 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.”<\/p>\n

Wicked <\/em>was released on November 22, 2024. A sequel is also in the works.
