The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee
About the Show
Twenty years after a buzzy, Tony Award®-winning run on Broadway, THE 25th ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE is BACK in New York City. As contestants white-knuckle adolescence and the heat of competition, their emotions run from A to Z — but they step up to the mic anyway because they love spelling, and because being a champion could solve everything.
With music and lyrics by Tony Award® winner William Finn, a book by Tony Award® winner Rachel Sheinkin, and new direction and choreography by Danny Mefford, SPELLING BEE is about the little wins that carry us through life’s many awkward spells.
Recommended for ages 13 and up. *Please note that children under 4 are not permitted in the theater, and all audience members must have a ticket.
