@wicked_musical: Backstage at #WICKED, the magic begins with access. @Jenna Bainbridge shares how backstage accessibility measures help her shine. Because everyone deserves the chance to fly. #DisabilityPrideMonth
I’m genuinely curious and not at all trying to be mean, but could you talk more about why you need a second wheelchair for curtain call?

I am SO happy they are finally casting disabled people to play Nessarose!!! I’m so happy for you and I hope Broadway continues to hire authentic neurodivergent & disabled people to play those roles 👏💚🩷

Do the Nessa understudies in the current company do the track in “Jenna mode”, or in the traditional track?

Random Stranger :
This is amazing!! Has anything in Nessa’s Act 2 scene been adapted to make it easier for Jenna? I’m thinking of the moment when Nessa kneels to read the Grimerie, wondering if that had to be done in a different way.

Thank you for sharing this. Is there a different wheelchair for during the show (since you only mentioned the curtain call for the one you showed us)?

You will not remember this, but I met you after a Wednesday show in March in that elevator. I was being given a backstage tour by Allison and you were sweetest, nicest, most humble young lady I’ve ever met! You are awesome
