THE 25th ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE

Music & Lyrics by William Finn; Book by Rachel Sheinkin

Six adolescents 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. The show’s Tony Award winning creative team has created the unlikeliest of hit musicals about the unlikeliest of heroes: a quirky yet charming cast of outsiders for whom a spelling bee is the one place where they can stand out and fit in at the same time. “The lovably, entirely adorable new musical...Spelling Bee is, in essence, A Chorus Line with pimples.” - New York Times
