Live Performance by McKayla Stacey!
From Andover to Hollywood, and everywhere in between, McKayla Stacey is a star. Many will recognize McKayla from her audition on American Idol season 21, which earned her a golden ticket, but this local music sensation has been belting it out on stage in Wichita for years.
Performing for the Music Theatre Wichita and Andover Central High School productions has left audiences impressed by her vocal chops and ability to tackle big performances.
As part of the interactive singalong event, McKayla will perform a song from the award winning film each week. After her performance, the audience will be immersed in the film’s iconic soundtrack as the lights go down, the film roll begins and the singalong commences.
