Morris' duet with Chenoweth came about months after the country starexpressed her dreamsof starring as Elphaba in Broadway’sWicked.
Morristweetedthat she was going to send in an audition tape for the musical in May. When a fan asked if she would be auditioning for Glinda or Elphaba, Morrisresponded, “I identify highly as an Elphaba but good god her songs are high.”
Then, in August, Morris revealed that she received a callback for the hit musical. “I got a callback forWicked. I am in tears. What the hell,” the Grammy Award winner tweeted alongside a crying face emoji and a green heart.
On Instagram, Morris also told fans how she felt after learning she got the callback.
“Y’all, I literally don’t even care —yes I do!— if I go beyond this callback because this is 14-year-old Maren getting to achieve something that was never in reach,” she said.
“It just never felt possible,” Morris added. “So thank you for being on this journey with me. We’ll see where it goes. I’m just really happy. I loveWicked! I love Elphaba! I love Kristin Chenoweth — thank you Kristin, for inspiring me to buck up and just send a self-tape in. I don’t know what to say.”
