But there's one thing she's absolutely obsessed with: musicals. From "Hamilton" to "Les Mis", there's not a cast album she hasn't memorized and belted along to. She's never actually been in a musical though, or even seen an actor who uses a wheelchair for mobility on stage. Would someone like Nat ever get cast? But when Nat's family moves from California to New Jersey, Nat stumbles upon auditions for a kids' production of "Wicked", one of her favorite musicals ever. And, she gets into the ensemble. The other cast members are super cool and inclusive (well, most of them)—especially Malik, the male lead and cutest boy Nat's ever seen. But when things go awry a week before opening night, will Nat be able to cast her fears and insecurities aside and "Defy Gravity" in every sense of the song title? Show less
