The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee
About the Show
David Stone, along with Broadway In Chicago, presents a long-run engagement of the new Broadway musical The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee.
The production is directed by James Lapine, the Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize-winner who also directed the Broadway production. The musical, conceived by Rebecca Feldman, features music and lyrics by Tony Award-winner William Finn (Falsettos, Elegies) and a Tony Award-winning book by Rachel Sheinkin.
In The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, six young people in the throes of puberty, overseen by grown-ups who barely managed to escape childhood themselves, learn that winning isn’t everything and that losing doesn’t necessarily make you a loser.
