About the Musical

Six quirky middle schoolers compete in a high-stakes spelling bee, each bringing their own hopes, insecurities, and quirks to the stage. As they navigate the pressures of competition, unexpected friendships form, personal stories unfold, and even audience members get a chance to participate!

The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, winner of Tony and Drama Desk Awards, is a charming, fast-paced, wildly funny show full of effortless wit and humor. Filled with hilarious, eccentric, and unforgettable characters, Spelling Bee features a touching book by Rachel Sheinkin and a fresh and vibrant score by William Finn.
