The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is a hilarious and heartwarming musical comedy that follows six quirky, bright young spellers as they compete for the championship of a lifetime.
As they face increasingly tricky words, their hilarious, awkward and touching personal stories are revealed, with a dash of playful audience participation that makes every performance unique.
Featuring a Tony Award-winning book by Rachel Sheinkin and a vibrant score by William Finn, this fast-paced, tuneful show is a witty, contemporary favorite that celebrates the joy of language, the pains and triumphs of growing up, and the idea that there’s more to winning than taking home the trophy.
