Marissa Bode made her feature film debut as Nessarose in the Academy Award-winning blockbuster, Wicked, directed by Jon M. Chu. As the highly anticipated sequel Wicked: For Good approaches, we'll reflect on what makes the story so meaningful to Bode and audiences around the world. Bode will also share personal stories and insights from her time on stage, the challenges and rewards of being part of an iconic production, and what the future holds for her career.
