SHREK THE MUSICAL "Forever"- McKenna Wells as Dragon

[@HadleyJanae]

Such a brilliant voice for a pretty low quality performance. This girl needs to be on broadway!

[@kennywells3687]

Oh thank you so much!

[@kieranpatch7571]

Jaimee Bingley I cant believe you would say something like that she was only 13 or so and she was able to sing like that!!

[@lididiot]

Jaimee Bingley Sure you could, I'd like to see you try.

[@daniellepar1825]

Jaimee Bingley ah ha so me then

[@peachy.peachy.peachy]

Jaimee Bingley Firstly, she’s absolutely amazing. Secondly, I’d like to see you try. Upload a video of you singing the same song and we’ll see who’s better.

[@user78995-z]

I LOVE HOW SASSY SHE IS! WORK GURL

[@andophiroxia]

Wow. ONLY at 13? She should be a star!

[@kennywells3687]

Thank You!!!

[@cdelafresh]

You were absolutely amazing and I'm even more blown away because of your age. I hope to see you do great things. I was called back for this song at my local theater and I think your rendition is my favorite of all the ones I've seen on KZbin.

[@kennywells3687]

cdelafresh Thank you so much! I hope to do great things;-)

[@Jambles3224]

This performance was better than ones I have seen on New York stages. I am donkey in my schools production and I hope this scene turns out as good as yours

[@dakotagonzales7509]

Discovered this video in 2014/15 at the peak of my Shrek the Musical obsession. Finally showed my wife Shrek the musical and had to search for this video because it’s my favorite performance of my preferred Dragon song!🥰🐉

[@isabelgisclair6253]

Hi Mckenna! I am playing dragon at a New Orleans theatre and I am channeling my inner sass! You did exactly what I want to do! Wonderful job!

[@kennywells3687]

Isabel Gisclair Thank you so much!

[@audreywilson7664]

She's 13 !!?!?!?!!?!!?!?

[@annikasenn2266]

Sjsksjsks I’m thirteen and just got casted for this role, I’m terrified.

[@kathryndobbins5655]

Even if I was Fiona in the production, this is my absolute FAVORITE song to sing ever, you did great!

[@tatemahar5159]

I'm doing Shrek Jr! my director says if donkey is a girl, he wants dragon a boy! I would love to play dragon or Ponocchio

[@vietkitti]

[@liamneu1430]

[@mia-hc2xk]

I like how she is like "No one ever wants me" *pushes to the ground*

[@samanthachinomona5229]

Your facials are AMAZING. I really believe your annoyance and anger and disbelief! Fabulous vocals not withstanding! I hope i can do this character justice, you're such an inspiration!

[@kennywells3687]

+Samantha Chinomona Thank you!

[@plushybones]

this was literally exactly what i needed, i was looking for good performances to use as a reference because im auditioning for the dragon, and this is literally perfect! you are such a talented actress and singer, and i can only imagine how much you’ve improved even from this spectacular performance. sorry im a decade late, but great job!!

[@kennywells3687]

Thank you

[@squrilleyboy]

Great performance! I'm gonna be in this show in May and I'm gonna be one of the knights for this scene! So excited!

[@davidsmith4591]

wow. very impressive. I'm doing the lights for this production now. opening night was last Saturday and our final performance is this weekend, 7pm Saturday and a matinee at 2 on Sunday. Our Dragon is 21,attends the MS School of Performing Arts. I would be hard pressed to choose a favorite now. excellent job.

[@KateyKat98]

[@AJKoehler]

I was really hoping you would belt that lllloooooooooOOOOOOOOVVVE at the end :( but anyway it was good

[@ariela5291]

same, I'm doing the play too right now and it sounds do amazing when dragon does it, but I know it's pretty hard and she's also 17, but by the time u r 17 you'll be much farther. wouldn't be surprised to see you as Enjelica on Hamilton one day😁

[@ariela5291]

sorry, meant to say your, not she

[@firebros1695]

Ariela she was actually 13 during this

[@TheSilverphoenix88]

I’ve never seen a production where there’s no puppet but cast members become the dragon’s body. That’s interesting

[@owls2223]

Amazing!! I'm trying out at the local theater company for Dragon and you're the best one I've seen singing and acting wise

Hello im also Dragon in my middle school play but you made me see this character from a different point of view, my play is going to be in april

[@avarudy5306]

We are doing Shrek Jr and at first I was skeptical but I had heard of the Dragon since I’m generally a good singer but also one of the younger people probably naturally getting me a smaller role and I’m not sure if this role is smaller or not but I really really want to end up as the Dragon

[@evanlomba6862]

I could watch you all day your voice is sooooo amazing

[@kennywells3687]

+Evan lomba Thanx so much!

[@jakebarrett7810]

That was so amazing! I'm doing the Jr version but its still pretty cool. Our dragon is amazing too but I don't know if she'll be able to compare to you! Anyway, yeah. Awesome job!!

If you do watch me as the dragons voice doing the "FOREVER" song there are two videos. One is a close up ( opening night) which is my favorite.... The other is the whole scene with donkey and the dragon. Forgot to mention our play was SHREK JR. The Musical. My song was shorter than yours. I would really love some feedback from you. Thanks so much! I'd love to see one of your plays someday and meet you, but I'm in the SF Bay Area. Anyway.... LOVE watching you. This dragon "FOREVER" song is my favorite performance of yours!!! Amazing! Love, Grace 💕
