Photo Flash: Darrell Hammond in 'Spelling Bee'

"Saturday Night Live"'s Darrell Hammond (12 seasons on "SNL," Scary Movie 3, Agent Cody Banks) is making his Broadway debut this summer in the acclaimed Broadway musical The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee as Vice Principal Douglas Panch, whom he plays for a limited engagement, June 12 - July 19.

The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee currently stars Aaron J. Albano, Stanley Bahorek, Jenni Barber, Jared Gertner, James Monroe Iglehart, Sara Inbar, Greta Lee, Mo Rocca, and Jennifer Simard.

"A hilariously hip musical comedy, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee features six young people in the throes of puberty, overseen by grown-ups who barely managed to escape childhood themselves, learning that winning isn't everything and that losing doesn't necessarily make you a loser," as the show is described in press materials.  The show features music and lyrics by William Finn, book by Rachel Sheinkin, conceived by Rebecca Feldman and directed by James Lapine.
