@pinknews: Marissa Bode has opened up about her solo as Nessarose in Wicked: For Good. In an interview with Variety, Bode shared her excitement for her character's solo, 'Wicked Witch of the East', which was never featured on the official Broadway cast recording. "There have been a number of people who say they’re super excited for ‘Wicked Witch of the East.’ I really hope it delivers and people receive it well", she told the publication. "If they don’t, that’s OK, too. But because so many incredible actresses on Broadway have performed that song so strongly, and also just a very strong song in general, there are definitely big shoes to fill.” Bode also praised the film's director, John M. Chu, as well as the film's creative team, for their support: "I had the support when I needed it, and I’m very grateful for that, and I’m really anxious and excited to see how the audience receives it." Wicked: For Good releases in cinemas on November 21 2025. #wickedforgood #wickedmovie #marissabode #nessarose #wickedwitchoftheeast #lgbtqia

Marissa Bode's reflection on her solo as Nessarose in *Wicked: For Good* shows both humility and excitement. Her take on the previously unreleased song, Wicked Witch of the East, adds a unique dimension to the character, and it's clear she's aware of the legacy she's stepping into. It’s refreshing to see such openness about the pressure to meet high expectations while also being gracious about whatever reception it receives. It’s bound to be an exciting moment for fans when the film releases.

I’m just scared she doesn’t have the real vocal ability required in the song…

it doesn’t matter but it’s her interpretation of the song and that should be celebrated. we should expect change when a musical is adapted to the screen.
