In the musical "Wicked," Nessarose, also known as the Wicked Witch of the East, is in a wheelchair due to a congenital disability. This condition affects her mobility and influences her character throughout the story, highlighting themes of isolation and the struggle for power. Her disability is key to her complex relationship with her sister Elphaba and ultimately plays a significant role in her character's development and the narrative's exploration of societal perceptions of disability.
