Marissa Bode, who plays Nessarose in the upcoming Wicked film, claims that all major characters in the adaptation of The Wizard of Oz are LGBTQ+. In a recent interview, she expressed this opinion boldly, emphasizing the queerness of characters like Elphaba and Glinda. Bode elaborated in a TikTok video, categorizing characters such as Glinda as a lesbian, Elphaba and Nessarose as bisexual, and the Wizard as questioning. With a predominantly queer cast, the film has become a beacon for LGBTQ+ representation within the musical theater space, resonating with queer audiences.
In my brain, there is fruitiness happening there. That's my personal opinion.
Glinda is a lesbian, Elphaba is bisexual, Nessarose is bisexual, Fiyero is bisexual, Boq is questioning but queer in some way.
Madame Morrible is a lesbian who was deeply in love once but something happened to her love.
The Wizard is also questioning, but queer in some way. Those are my thoughts... And I'm joking, but also - no I'm not.
