Just because the likes of Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo, and Jonathan Bailey booked Wicked, doesn’t mean there weren’t some pretty stellar choices who auditioned for their role.<\/p>\n

We’ve already established how Sherryl Lee Ralph auditioned for Madame Morrible<\/a>, a choice many people seemingly preferred. A lot of stupidly hot men auditioned for Fiyero<\/a>, with the role eventually going with Jonathan Bailey after the casting directors managed to work around his schedule. A full list of who auditioned for Wicked is available here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Though I’m a firm believer that Ariana Grande<\/a> was born to play Glinda, these other actresses who auditioned would have been amazing.<\/p>\n

Dove Cameron auditioned for Glinda in Wicked<\/h2>\n
