Six spellers enter… but only one speller can leave a champion! The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is a wildly hilarious take on adolescence, parenting, teachers, and the pandemonium of competitive spelling bees. Centred around a very eclectic group of six mid-pubescent teens, the show weaves through the motivations and hopes of each competitor as they vie for the spelling championship. Winner of the Tony and Drama Desk Awards for Best Book, this riotous ride has charmed audiences across the globe with its fast-paced wit and vibrant score. Book by Rachel Sheinkin, Music and Lyrics by William Finn, Conceived by Rebecca Feldman.
