The singer, 32 — who previouslyexpressed her dreamsof starring as Elphaba in Broadway’sWicked— revealed Thursday 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, hinting that she may be up for the role of the Wicked Witch of the West.
“Stop my heart is going to explode,“Morris replied, adding another green heart emoji.
On Instagram, Morris 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.”
