Synopsis:
A surprise hit on Broadway, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is about six adolescents vying for the top spot in a competitive county bee. The kids are a lovable, disparate group of outsiders for whom the spelling bee is a way "to not feel rotten". As the competition moves forward, there is a series of emotional highs and lows, and the contestants sing and dance through these ups and downs. Add in a group of grown-up characters who haven't quite grown up, members of the audience, and surprise guests, and The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is a roller coaster of music and fun!
