Marissa Bode Reflects on Her Journey with 'Wicked: For Good' and Supporting Boys & Girls Clubs of America
Just weeks before the US opening of "Wicked: For Good", actress Marissa Bode returned to the Boys & Girls Club of Santa Monica (JAMS Clubhouse) where she previously served as an after-school art teacher and mentor. The event, organized in partnership with Fandango and Boys & Girls Clubs of America, aimed to raise funds for the organization's mission to serve over 4 million young people nationwide.
Bode, who broke out in her role as Nessarose in "Wicked", is now set to make a lasting impact on the lives of the children she helped at the club. The actress expressed her excitement about using her platform to support kids and communities. "It's cool starting out with working with kids at the Boys and Girls Club, then being in a film that reaches a wider audience of kids across the globe," Marissa said.
The partnership between Fandango and Boys & Girls Clubs of America has raised over $2 million so far this year. Bode encourages fans to purchase "Wicked: For Good" tickets using the round up campaign to make a difference in a child's life. She emphasized the importance of supporting young communities, stating that kids are incredibly smart when given tools and thrive with proper support.
As "Wicked: For Good" nears its theatrical release, Bode is experiencing excitement and nerves. The actress discussed doing her own stunts in the first installment and revealed which stunt was the most challenging – flying through the air without a wheelchair, as opposed to soaring through the air while using it. She noted that the second film required more concentration to portray her character's darker tone.
In an upcoming celebration with friends on opening day, Bode will enjoy a low-key party, with friends renting out a theater for the occasion and even sending money to help cover rent costs. The actress expressed gratitude for the support and looked forward to a chill and fun celebration.
Bode's commitment to using her platform for good is a testament to the positive impact that celebrities can have on young people's lives. With "Wicked: For Good" set to open soon, fans can look forward to experiencing Marissa Bode's remarkable journey on the big screen.

and marissa bodes role as nessarose is literally so inspiring 
she seems like such a kind person too 
i wish more celebrities would use their fame to support causes like this, it's so cool that she's making a difference in the lives of kids 
i've been wanting to get tickets for wicked: for good for ages, but now i'm even more excited because marissa is involved 
I'm totally stoked to see Marissa Bode using her platform to support kids and communities! It's like, so inspiring to see someone who's made it in the entertainment industry giving back to those who need it most 
. The fact that she's still connected to her roots and is passionate about helping young people thrive is just amazing 
. And can we talk about how awesome it is that the partnership between Fandango and Boys & Girls Clubs of America has raised over $2 million so far this year? 
It's clear that Marissa Bode's commitment to doing good goes beyond her acting career, and I'm all for that 
. And what really gets me is when they talk about kids being "incredibly smart" when given tools... like, no kidding! That's basic human decency, not something worthy of praise.
It's time to stop patting ourselves on the back and start taking action.
. And can we talk about how awesome it is that she's doing her own stunts in 'Wicked: For Good'? 
That takes a lot of guts, girl!
