‘Wicked’ Actually Changes Nessarose a Lot (And We’re Glad)

Nessarose (Marissa Bode) and Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo) arrive at Shiz University in 'Wicked'

Wicked’s first week on the big screen was met with astounding success, proving that, after years of waiting, audiences are eager to experience the heartfelt musical tale of the Witches of Oz. While Elphaba and Glinda’s story has translated beautifully, it’s Elphaba’s younger sister, Nessarose , whose story is taken to the next level. Nessarose has experienced a few seemingly minor changes, but alterations to the character actually make her a far more nuanced and empowering figure.
