After the monumental success of Wicked and Wicked: For Good, there’s literally no one else I can see as Fiyero other than Jonathan Bailey.<\/p>\n

Jonathan Bailey is what every musical casting director dreams of. He’s got the charm, looks great in a pair of leather trousers, and is just the right amount of ridiculously hot without drawing away attention from the real stars of the film, Elphaba and Glinda<\/a>. But going back a few years, the casting almost didn’t happen.<\/p>\n

“A lot of people told us he was not available and we just would not take no for any reason,” Wicked’s casting director, Tiffany Canfield, told PEOPLE<\/a>. “We all just kept trying and, bingo, the clouds opened up and he’s in it.”<\/p>\n

Somewhere, in another universe where Jonathan Bailey refused to sign on, these other celebs who auditioned for Fiyero are being objectified<\/a> by the masses.<\/p>\n
