If you were able to play a character from your favourite musical who would you want to play?

10-year-old Karis felt like she was 'in a fairytale' when she was picked to play young Elphaba in the new Wicked movie that is out this weekend.

She joined the cast of Wicked including Cynthia Erivo, who plays Elphaba and Ariana Grande.

And she was even joined by her best friend nine-year-old Harriet who played a munchkin on screen.
