WHAT'S THE BEE ABOUT?
In the Broadway Musical Comedy, THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE, six
young people in the throes of puberty, overseen by grownups who barely managed
to escape childhood themselves, learn that winning isn't everything and that
losing doesn't necessarily make you a loser.
This hilarious tale of overachievers' angst chronicles the experience of six
adolescent outsiders vying for the spelling championship of a lifetime. A
quirky yet charming cast of outsiders for whom a spelling bee is the one place
where they can stand out and fit in at the same time.
ABOUT THE AUDIENCE PARTICIPANTS
Before every performance of THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE, two
audience volunteers are recruited to participate on stage as guest-spellers
along with two invited celebrity guest spellers each night. Each new foursome
guarantees a new set of hilarious and unexpected experiences - one night is
just as unique as the one before it!
