Hey, quick question for Amanda Seyfried: So, uh, what's that musical you're working on? The one which prevented you from attending the Golden Globes? The people are demanding answers. (Me, I'm people.)
ICYMI: Instead of accepting the award for best actress for her performance in The Dropout, Seyfried was, according to the presenters who accepted the award on her behalf, “deep in the process of creating a new musical this week.”
On Twitter, people were like, “???”

But ultimately, we have no closure, no answers to what musical the actor is so diligently working away on. (IMDb is coming up short on this one.) So I am once again asking, Amanda Seyfried, give us a hint!
The actor has previously spoken of how disappointed she was not to get the role of Glinda in the film adaption of Wicked – the casting went to Ariana Grande instead. She told Backstage: “Last summer, while I was playing Elizabeth [on The Dropout], on the weekends I was auditioning in person to play Glinda in the movie version of Wicked — because I wanted it that much that I was like, ‘You know what? Yeah, I have to play the last scene of The Dropout on Tuesday. I’ll give my Sunday to you.’ I literally bent over backwards while playing the hardest role of my life.”
That doesn't mean she wouldn't sign on in a heartbeat.
She later told Porter magazine that she was devastated not to get the role. “I lost out on a big role that I really wanted – I thought I wanted,” she said. “It was devastating, and it wasn’t for any other reason than I really felt like it was right. But that doesn’t take away from my confidence at all.”
Sounds like Amanda's finally got her dream musical gig though, right? Fingers crossed.
