The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee

Music and lyrics by William Finn, Book by Rachel Sheinkin, Conceived by Rebecca Feldman, Additional Material by Jay Reiss

Directed by Melanie Y.C. Pepe, Musical Director John Ebner

Six mid-pubescent kids vie for the spelling championship of a lifetime! While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home life, these eclectic tweens spell their way through a series of (potentially made-up) words hoping to never hear the soul-crushing, pout-inducing, life un-affirming "ding" of the bell that signals a spelling mistake. Six spellers enter; one speller leaves! At least the losers get a juice box! Winner of numerous awards — including the Tony Award for best book of a musical — this giddy and charming musical celebrates the trials and tribulations of adolescence while reminding us that, deep down inside, everyone is a winner!
