The Chicago Company of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee will continue performances at the Drury Lane Theatre Water Tower Place through the summer. The Tony award-winning Broadway musical comedy has now extended in a limited engagement from April 18 - September 2.
The press release states, "The wildly popular and especially themed 'game night and 'parent/teacher' performances will also keep going into the summer months on a regularly scheduled basis. Pre-show 'game night' competitions, pitting audience members against one another in classic and not-so-classic word-inspired board games (including the first-of-its-kind and one-and-only Hungry, Hungry Hippos Spelling Bee Championship!) will be offered before each Wednesday evening performance at 6 p.m. in the theatre lobby. Following the sold-out success of previous "parent/teacher" night performances, S
pelling Bee will go blue on the first Friday of each month starting June 1. At these special one-night performances the
Bee contains very mature and downright filthy material and will be for adults only - the kids should once again stay home and do their homework."
Chicago's Drury Lane Theatre Water Tower Place is located at 175 East Chestnut Street. The performance schedule is as follows: Wednesdays at 2 & 7:30 p.m.; Thursdays at 7:30 p.m.; Fridays at 8 p.m.; Saturdays at 2 & 8 p.m.; and Sundays at 2 & 6:30 p.m.
