The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee
This hilarious and light-hearted musical is about an eclectic group of sixth-graders (played by adults) who arrive at the Spelling Bee, each eager to win for very different reasons. While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home lives, through touching and catchy songs, the tweens spell their way through a series of (potentially made-up) words, hoping never to hear the soul-crushing sound that signals a mistake. This award-winning musical is a riotous ride that has charmed audiences across the globe.
