Winner of the Tony and the Drama Desk Awards for Best Book, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee follows an eclectic group of six mid-pubescents who vie for the spelling championship of a lifetime. While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home lives, the tweens spell their way through a series of (potentially made-up) words, hoping never to hear the soul-crushing, pout-inducing, life-unaffirming "ding" of the bell that signals a spelling mistake. Six spellers enter; one speller leaves a champion! At least the losers get a juice box. A riotous ride, complete with audience participation, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is a delightful den of comedic genius.Director: Gracie Greenrod | Musical Director: Immi Beattie | Choreographer: Allycia Angeles
Producers: Immi Beattie and Gracie Greenrod
Music & Lyrics by WILLIAM FINN | Book by RACHEL SHEINKIN | Conceived by REBECCA FELDMAN
