Description: The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is a Tony Award winning Broadway musical that tells the story of an eclectic group of six tweens hoping to win the spelling championship of a lifetime. While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home lives, they spell their way through a series of (potentially made-up) words. A riotous ride, complete with audience participation, this bee is one unforgettable experience. Note: Some aspects of this show will be modified for youth performers.
