The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee
Music and lyrics by William Finn
Book by Rachel Sheinkin
A musical comedy that portrays a fictional spelling bee in which six quirky adolescents—played by adult actors—compete under the supervision of three equally offbeat grownups. Fueled by audience participation, the competition becomes a heartfelt journey of growth, resilience, and finding connection in unexpected places. Featuring a cast of eccentric overachievers, clever songs, and sharp improvisation, this Tony-winning hit is a grown-up laugh-fest with even more heart.
