THE 25TH ANNUAL
PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE
DIRECTED BY SUSAN WATSON & LINDSEY BRACKETT
Who would expect a musical about a spelling bee to be so charming?
LeAnne Challenger, Emma Singer (in front), Chris Parker, Hannah Holliday, Zack Smagur, and Ryan Long, the six spellers; and Grant Williams, counselor, Amber Miller, Former Winner, and Steven Ward as assistant principal will amaze you with their priceless characterizations!
In touching and catchy songs, each Speller reveals his/her hopes, struggles, and passions during the competition.
​
Spelling Bee is not so much about spelling as it is about the lives, hopes, and dreams of all of the characters.
​
“With William Finn’s engaging, tuneful score and a sweet, funny book by Rachel Sheinkin, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee causes audiences, to fall in love, both with the show and its characters. Note that this musical is PG 13, not appropriate for young children.
