REVIEW: HEC Media is deeply moved by Meredith Aleigha Wells as Sister Mary Robert.

Written By Meredith Aleigha Wells

Has The Muny ever had a better complete season than its 105th? Not in my three decades of covering the theater. Every show was inspired in both choice and execution. The most inspirational show of all may be the enormously joyous and touching production of Sister Act that closes the season.

Deloris’s profound effect on the people around her is demonstrated again when she inspires the diffident postulant, Mary Robert, to find her true self. 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.
