The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee at Theater Latté Da

This Tony Award-winning show is the unlikeliest of hit musicals about the unlikeliest of heroes: a quirky yet charming cast of outsiders for whom a spelling bee is the one place where they can stand out and fit in at the same time. At first blush, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee seems like a lighthearted spoof about nine students competing for the title of spelling bee champion. Look beneath the surface, however, and you’ll see the pains and heartaches today’s students experience as they strive for academic success. At the Ordway Center,
McKnight Theatre.
