The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee

In the Tony Award-winning new musical, 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 losing doesn’t necessarily make you a loser. Spelling Bee is riotously funny and remarkably ingenious. “Gold stars all around,” praised The New York Times for the Broadway sensation; and the The Wall Street Journal called Spelling Bee, “perfect in every possible way- that rarity of rarities, a super-smart musical that is also a bona fide crowd-pleaser. An ingenious blend of simplicity and sophistication, it’s not merely funny, it’s wise.”
