Three more "adults-only" performances of the Tony Award-winning musical The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee will take place on Sunday evenings January 22, February 5, and March 5.

The musical's creators first experimented with this format, in which some of the words the contestants are asked to spell are not suitable for children's ears, on October 2, and had great success.

The show was conceived by Rebecca Feldman, has music and lyrics by William Finn, and a book by Rachel Sheinkin. Jay Reiss, who originated the role of Douglas Panch, also writes material for the show. It currently stars Derrick Baskin, Deborah S. Craig, Jesse Tyler-Ferguson, Dan Fogler, Lisa Howard, Celia Keenan-Bolger, Jose Lllana, Sarah Saltzberg, and Greg Stuhr.

Frank Langella could easily earn his fourth Tony Award for his consummate portrayal of Sir Thomas More in Doug Hughes' sturdy revival of Robert Bolt's 1961 drama.
