The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee

The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, the offbeat musical creation of Tony award-winning composer and lyricist William Finn, Rachel Sheinkin, and Rebecca Feldman is directed by Tony Award-winner James Lapine. This hilarious tale of overachievers’ angst — tender and sardonic — pits 10 contestants (six actors, four audience members) against each other in a battle for the championship of the local spelling competition.
