In the 2005 Tony Award Winning Broadway Musical Comedy, THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE centres around a fictional spelling competition in Putnam County, New York. Six young people in the throes of puberty face off in the battle of their lives. They compete against each other as well as members of the audience. The competition is overseen by three grownups, barely managed to escape childhood themselves: a nostalgic former spelling bee winner, a mildly insane Vice Principal and The Official Comfort Counsellor completing his community service to the state of New York. Together with the six adolescents, they learn that winning isn’t everything and that losing doesn’t necessarily make you a loser. A quirky yet charming cast of outsiders for whom SPELLING BEE is the one place where they can stand out and fit in at the same time.SPELLING BEE has a Tony Award winning book by Rachel Sheinkin and Music and Lyrics by Tony Award winner William Finn.
