Maren Morris' 'Wicked' Broadway Dream Comes True

It has been almost three months since Maren Morris submitted her self-tape audition for the role of Elphaba Thropp, or the Wicked Witch of the West, protagonist of the Broadway musical "Wicked."

The "Chasing After Your" singer shared a snippet of her audition tape in May. "Test shot for my self-tape audition [...] Honestly, even if I don't get the part, this was so fun, and I bought a freakin' backdrop off Amazon."

The 15-second clip shows Morris standing in front of a backdrop, rocking a tube top, with her hair pinned back, and singing "The Wizard and I." Broadway fans recognize this as the musical's most famous track, sung by Elphaba, a character made famous by Idina Menzel.

One Step Closer to Emerald City

The 32-year-old singer finally updated fans regarding her audition. She shared her exciting news via Twitter-she received a callback for "Wicked."

In her tweet, the "Good Friends" singer wrote, "I got a callback for Wicked. I am in tears. What the h**l," she added a little green heart and crying emoji at the end.

"The Bones" singer expressed her excitement on Instagram as well. "Because this is like, 14-year-old Maren's getting to achieve something that was never in reach like it just never felt possible," she said.

"So, thank you for being on this journey with me. We will see where it goes. I'm just really happy. I love Wicked. I love Elphaba. I love Kristin Chenoweth. Thank you, Kristin, for inspiring me to just buck up and just send the self-tape in."

Fans are ecstatic with the news and congratulate her via Twitter. The Twitter account for the Grammys shares their excitement by replying, " we can't wait for this GRAMMYs winner to take on Broadway."

"Vocal Nerds Only"

After tweeting a snippet of her her audition, Morris added that the preparation for the audition was more difficult than what she expected.

"As a singer of my own music, I can belt, but rarely," she wrote. "Elphie goes from falsetto to full voice in the same word in 2 songs I've noticed."

"It's very technically skilled and I can do it, but the idea of 8 [times] a week is daunting!" She added.

In a few exchanges with a Twitter user, who gave her advice, Morris replied jokingly, "Good god, I have my work cut out."
