Maren Morris has her sights set on Broadway. The “Circles Around This Town” singer took to Twitter to share her audition tape for the role of Elphaba in the popular Broadway Show.
Maren says that she purchased the setup for her tape on Amazon saying, “Test shot for my self tape audition. The THEATRE dah-ling IS JUMPING OUT.”
“Honestly, even if I don’t get the part, this was so fun and I bought a freakin’ backdrop off Amazon.” she added.

In a series of follow-up tweets, she explained that she is prepping her voice for the audition and asked for advice from fellow “vocal nerds.”
Also, as a singer of my own music, I can belt, but rarely. Elphie goes from falsetto to full voice in the same word in 2 songs I’ve noticed. INTG and No Good Deed she does this. It’s very technically skilled and I can do it, but the idea of 8X a week is daunting!
