Directed by: Delorna Toy
Musical director: Sandy Wallace Choreographed by: Sarah Jane Toy
An eclectic group of six mid-pubescents 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! At least
the losers get a juice box
A riotous
ride, complete with audience participation, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is a delightful den of comedic genius.
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.
