Billings took to Instagram to express how much the opportunity means to her.

Check out the post below!

Last night I had the honor to be placed gently and with loving hands, into the glorious land of Oz. With all my heart I cannot tell you the gratefulness and sheer unbridled joy I feel in living in a land of faith and spiritual guidance. Where home is defined by truth and the power of chosen family Tonight was the beginning and I am honored to be in the center of this journey as it continues to teach me and lead me into the next beautiful event. Thank you Ozians. As you have done since I've been 7 years old, you have reminded me of what matters and what the universe is capable of. Here's to the humans whose shoulders I stand on and whose memories I hold dear. My queer ancestors and the histories they invoke. For I would be nowhere without their constant divine voices. Blessed to have family. Grateful to be home Because there really is no place like it @wicked_musical #transisbeautiful #transrightsarehumanrights #lgbtrightsarehumanrights #wewillnotbeerased #grateful #actorslife
