This musical comedy (the first Kahilu-produced musical since the Richard Smart days!) is about six quirky adolescents who compete in the spelling championship of a lifetime, run by three equally quirky grown-ups. The Broadway production was so successful, with six Tony Awards, that it has become a favorite with community productions. The Spelling Bee is a hilarious tale of overachievers’ angst – the unlikeliest of hit musicals about the unlikeliest of heroes: a charming cast of outsiders who learn that winning isn’t everything and that losing doesn’t necessarily make you a loser. Directed by Beth Dunnington, director of last January’s sold-out “Broadway in Hawaii” concert at Kahilu.
