What People Are Saying
“Her story arc is totally convincing in Meredith Aleigha Wells’ deeply moving performance. A wheelchair user, Wells is a full and vibrant participant in the exhilarating choreography by director Denis Jones. The irresistible ebullience of Wells’ dancing on wheels is a powerful demonstration of inclusiveness making a show better for everyone.”
— HEC Media
“Wells’ Mary Robert is the young postulate who finds her voice through her friendship with Deloris. They disappear into the character and show exceptional character arc in a featured role. Their performance of ‘The Life I Never Led’ is a beautiful anthem.”
— BroadwayWorld
“The ensemble does swimmingly throughout, but watch especially for Meredith Aleigha Wells. They use a wheelchair, and from that chair, bring Flaster’s choreography to life with grace, verve, and enough energy and spark to power eels.”
— Chicago Reader
Meredith Aleigha Wells employed superb technique as Artemis, skillfully conveying complicated plot points (both spoken and sung) with energy and clarity. Their movement and choreography were active and fun, proving just how full of life and motion their character was, disability and all.
— DC Theater Arts
“Martin Cespedes’ choreography continues to delight, but it was Meredith Aleigha Wells’ wheelchair spins as the Ugly Duckling that brought down the opening night house.”
— Cool Cleveland
“HOW THE GRINCH STOLE CHRISTMAS! The Musical has a lot of special treats within it, from singing puppets to Broadway's first wheelchair user to perform in a Broadway National Tour, Meredith Aleigha Wells. Wells's scenes were super-heartwarming and Wells fit in so well with the musical dance numbers.”
— BroadwayWorld
“But it’s a star-making performance by wheelchair-user Meredith Aleigha Wells as postulant (pre-novice) Sister Mary Robert in her show-stopping “The Life I Never Led” that’s the most memorable moment.”
— Pop Life STL
“I was also impressed by the work on stage by Meredith Wells, who is an ensemble member that proves that no obstacle need stand in the way of a dream. They are a wheelchair user and I must say that after the first view of their work, I lost sight of the fact that they were in one.”
