Spelling Bee

The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee
Can you spell I-R-R-E-S-I-S-T-I-B-L-E?

In the Tony-Award winning new musical comedy THE 25th ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE, six young people in the throes of puberty, overseen by grown-ups who barely managed to escape childhood themselves, learn that winning isn't everything and that losing doesn't necessarily make you a loser. With it's enormously appealing cast of lovable misfits, nerds and neurotics, this smash hit, musical comedy hilariously, tunefully- and perfectly - captures the angst, exhilaration and heartache that makes growing up so painful and so wonderful.

This tuneful, offbeat and at times heartwarming show offers audience members the opportunity (strictly voluntary) to become part of the action as on-stage spellers. The New York Times calls SPELLING BEE, “irresistible, riotously funny and remarkably ingenious - gold stars all around.”
