Summary

Wickedis packed with characters that fans have grown deeply attached to over the years.

Although, of course, every Nessa that came before me is so incredible and incredibly talented.

I think the authenticity of casting somebody who’s actually disabled added a little bit more depth.

SLATER: Oh, what an awesome question.

We worked on it a lot!

BODE: Yes, we spent a lot of time on that.

I thinkthat really established an even stronger relationship between the charactersin that way, for sure.

And it’s where they really find their love for one another, although a little bit differently.

Honestly, maybe for me, it would be in the library.

The camera work was incredible, and the choreography was incredible.
