Chantelle Nassari, an actual disabled accessibility coordinator was "Elphaba," with the access needs of disabled actors on set 💚 ✨️ The importance of disabled consultants on set is critical. PLEASE HIRE MORE disabled writers, producers (like me), directors, and consultants.

Chantelle Nassari @mamachanos believes (disability) "Representation," is everything 🙌 ❤️‍🔥and I couldn't agree more. 💚✨️💕 Join us this Tuesday for candid Wicked chat! Chantelle Nassari, who uses a wheelchair herself, was the film’s accessibility coordinator, acting as on-set consultant throughout the production, working alongside every department from props, hair and make-up through to the set designers. “They took on board everything I said,” she said. “They had a big enough budget that everything was possible, and the site team were just so creative and understanding, with the imagination and tools to make it happen.” This included redesigning ramps over cables to cope with electric wheelchairs, and helping facilities company Translux to build the first wheelchair accessible trailer in the world." @people [Image Description: A picture of a headline that reads "How Wicked's Accessibility Coordinator Made the land of Oz inclusive with a pink and green Wicked logo in the right corner with a picture of Chantelle Nassari on the right, a disabled woman in her wheelchair with curly white hair with a green top holding an official Wicked premiere invitation with her name Chantelle Nassari in green and white text next to a picture of Erin CEO and Founder of Claiming Disability with blonde hair wearing makeup with erin.claiming_disability in green and white with an Instagram logo in between with black bar that reads December 17th at 1pmcst/ 2pmest/11ampst with Erin Noon Kay in pink and Chantelle Nassari in electric green] #Wicked

My baby did it! SHE PASSED! 🩵💝

Nothing to see here just…. 💚ME AT THE WICKED PREMIERE🩷

To have been the Access Coordinator on Wicked was humbling, terrifying and incredible. An experience I will never forget. I feel so lucky I got to do a project as epic is this. It feels like a dream. The highlight was meeting and working with @marissa_edob and @cesilycollette that was such an honour. Friends for life, I hold you close to my heart and cherish watching you soar. So much love for you all. 💚🩷
