On a recent episode of the Varietys Award Circuit podcast, Seyfried, currently an Oscar nominee for Mank, announced that she had taken singing lessons about the COVID-19 pandemic and submitted a recording of herself as her Glinda’s signature -Song “Popular” sang by Wicked. “I promoted Wicked for five years.”

For a while, she said, Kendrick was her dream co-star. “I thought her Elphaba would be really solid and I sing the high notes and she can sing, she can be the alto. She’s an amazing singer.”

“At some point it was like that Anne HathawayAlso, “continued Seyfried, naming her Les Misérables co-star.” She could obviously be Elphaba. “

She also suggested her other Les Misérables co-star, Samantha Barksand said the two sang the Wicked duet “For Good” together in Los Angeles years ago.

“There is no one like Samantha Barks,” said Seyfried. “But that was the original idea. Samantha is my number 1. I mean, there’s no better singer in the world, I guess. Of course, I wasn’t ready at this point, or Glinda. But it’s really fun to be with her, too to sing . “
