Chu that she couldn&#8217;t sing, but he cast her regardless after <a href=\"https:\/\/thetab.com\/tag\/ariana-grande\">Ariana Grande<\/a> and Cynthia Erivo begged him. I get it, though, as a long-time stan of Michelle, having her name attached to the project was practically a home run.<\/p>\n<p>Michelle Yeoh&#8217;s Madame Morrible was only on screen for 16 minutes in <a href=\"https:\/\/thetab.com\/tag\/wicked\">Wicked: For Good<\/a>, and her singing time was even less. Despite that, it was one of the more prevalent criticisms of the film.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Love her, but wow, when Michelle Yeoh starts singing, you really question why she was cast,&#8221; one person wrote on Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>Another said: &#8220;P*sses me off even more knowing Michelle Yeoh literally told Jon M Chu she&#8217;s not a singer, and they cast her anyways.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Though I&#8217;ll always be a Michelle Yeoh apologist, especially in Wicked, the <a href=\"https:\/\/thetab.com\/2024\/11\/26\/all-the-mega-famous-actors-who-also-auditioned-for-each-wicked-role\">actresses who auditioned for Madame Morrible<\/a> do make you wonder what could have been.<\/p>\n<h2>Move over, Michelle Yeoh, because Sherryl Lee Ralph auditioned for Madame Morrible<\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">remembering sheryl lee ralph auditioned for madame morrible and played her on broadway <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/rMdhi2GLSi\">pic.twitter.com\/rMdhi2GLSi<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; (Sarah) \u0633\u0627\u0631\u0629 (@sarsaraaaaah) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/sarsaraaaaah\/status\/1991823778113044580?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 21, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Again, I love Michelle Yeoh as Madame Morrible. She was c*nty and camp, with just the right amount of megalomania in her work as propaganda tsar for the Wizard&#8217;s regime. Still, learning that THEE Sherryl Lee Ralph auditioned for Madame Morrible is nothing short of a gut punch.<\/p>\n<p>An original Dreamgirl, Sherryl Lee Ralph is an iconic musical actress who has since gone on to work in TV and film. Most recently, she is most well-known for starring in Abbott Elementary as the legendary Barbara Howard.<\/p>\n<p>Though she did actually play Madame Morrible in the stage production of Wicked, Jon M. Chu ultimately decided to go in another direction for the film. Boooo!<\/p>\n<h2>I don&#8217;t know how to feel about Jennifer Lopez in Wicked<\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">According to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TheOZVlog?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@TheOZVlog<\/a>, Jennifer Lopez reportedly auditioned for the role of Madame Morrible<\/p>\n<p>This role of course ended up going to Michelle Yeoh \ud83d\udc9c <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/VSzglMbidl\">pic.twitter.com\/VSzglMbidl<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Wicked Movie Updates (@wickedupdate) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/wickedupdate\/status\/1737133204795015595?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 19, 2023<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>So, apparently, Jenny from the block auditioned for Madame Morrible in Wicked.
