Lin-Manuel Miranda also tried to land a role in Wicked, making several calls to director Jon M. Chu for a small part.<br /><br />Miranda, whom Chu worked with on In the Heights, wanted to play the Munchkinland citizen who asks Glinda, "Is it true you were her friend?"<br /><br />However, Chu declined the request, feeling that a cameo from Miranda would be "too distracting," joking, "Sorry, Lin!"
