As a huge fan of the musical, and a researcher in disability studies, I was interested to see if this casting decision represented a change in attitude towards the character.

Having now seen the #Wicked movie, I wanted to return to my earlier piece on Nessarose written after Marissa Bode was cast as Nessarose - the first actor with a disability cast in this role - to see how this character has been changed 'for good'.

With the release of the Wicked movie imminent, now feels like a good time for a shameless plug of the piece I wrote for @rtebrainstorm.bsky.social earlier this year. I centred my discussion on the representation of disability and the character of Nessarose. #Wicked

The Broadway musical is one of the few featuring a character with a disability yet a wheelchair user has never played the role of Nessarose

Wicked is an absolutely phenomenal film. The songs have been imbued with intensified meaning, the performances from Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande and the entire ensemble are all so faithful to the source material while also putting their own spin on them. Just incredible stuff. #Wicked
