Winner of the Tony and the Drama Desk Awards for Best Book, “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee” has charmed audiences across the country with its effortless wit and humor. It’s a fast-paced, wildly funny story with a book written by Rachel Sheinkin and a fresh and vibrant score by William Finn.
The fast-paced musical unfolds as an eclectic group of six mid-pubescents vie for the spelling championship of a lifetime. Each share hilarious yet touching stories from their home lives, spelling their way through a series of words, hoping never to hear the soul-crushing, pout-inducing, life un-affirming "ding" of the bell that signals a spelling mistake. Six spellers enter: one speller leaves! At least the losers get a juice box.
The musical is a riotous ride complete with guest spellers pulled from the audience at each performance.
