After 20 years, we finally have authentic representations in one of the biggest musicals in the world

This made me cry this morning when I saw it this morning and I’m tearing up as I’m typing this.  The disability community finally has physically authentic representation in one of the biggest musicals in the world! 21-year-old Marie needed to see this but never got the chance 25-year-old me needed to see a presentation but never got the chance.  I am part of the unseen generation of the disability community. Awesome to know that we are finally, being authentically represented and seen by the world. This is only the beginning. Next we need to encourage would give the musical to agree to making the Gershwin theater accessible to the house because people with disabilities deserve to work all facets of entertainment

My impact

What change, big or small, would you like your blog to make in the world?

My dream for my impact on the world is that people would know who Jesus is and they would know that he wants a relationship with them. I would also love my website she reflect that people with disabilities are just like anybody else and we deserve to be treated as equals and not third-class citizens

This past Thursday I told my @boundlessbabesociety sister @alistroker  that I want to be the first Elphaba who is actually green I know that this dream will take a lot of hard work as all dreams do but if we as a community including our non disabled Allies continue to champion people in the disabled community we can change the world!
This is what my playbill bio would say: Ms. Marie Nicole Zimmerle is overjoyed to finally be playing Elphaba and bringing authentic representation of her community to the Wicked stage. Ms.  Zimmerle admits  that her journey of self-acceptance has been a rollercoaster ride, but she is excited to let the younger generations know that anything is possible
