This smash hit musical comedy is a funny D-E-L-I-G-H-T!
Winner of the Tony and the Drama Desk Awards for Best Book, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee has charmed audiences across the country with its effortless wit and humor. An eclectic group of six kids vie for the spelling championship of a lifetime. While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home lives, the tweens spell their way through a series of (potentially made-up) words, hoping never to hear the soul-crushing, pout-inducing, life un-affirming "ding" of the bell that signals a spelling mistake. Six spellers enter; one speller leaves a champion! At least the losers get a juice box.
Conceived by Rebecca Feldman, with additional material by Jay Reiss. Music and Lyrics by William Finn. Book by Rachel Sheinkin.
Directed by Ryan Foy, with Music Direction by Jamie Johns.
