Marissa Budd is “very happy” with Nyssa’s “Evil: For Good” arc.

As the concluding chapter of evilWith a big screen adaptation about to get closer, Marissa Budd opens up about how she pulled off the film with an able plot point.

The actress who returns as Nyssa Evil: for good When it premiered November 21 in theaters, she recently explained that the wheelchair-bound character’s “absolute true desire is love,” unlike the Broadway musical, where her desire was to be able to walk.

“I’m very happy about the change, the old narrative is outdated,” Buddy said. Go Magazineafter the Broadway show’s book writer and co-screenwriter Winnie Holzman consulted with a disabled friend and changed the story.

While the musical had Elphaba (played by Cynthia Erivo in the film) enchant her sister’s shoes so she can walk, which many people interpreted as being able, the latest trailer for Jon M. Chu’s upcoming sequel shows that the magic gives Nyssa the ability to fly instead.

“I’ll be honest, it was really fun to fly through the air while filming,” Bud said. “Overall, this shift makes a lot of sense to me, considering ‘everyone deserves the chance to fly’.”

Boddy explained that Nessa’s new story underscores how frustrating it is for people with disabilities when they don’t need help, no matter how well-intentioned.

“Sometimes, people with disabilities need help,” Bodi said. “All people with disabilities are different, and therefore have different levels of mobility.” “It’s okay to ask for help, and at the same time, letting people without disabilities know that they don’t always have to assume.”

In the musical, Elphaba’s younger sister Nessarose is a paraplegic, and later becomes the Wicked Witch of the East, ruler of Munchkinland.
