The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee


The Tony Award-winning musical tells a tale of six young people in the throes of puberty - overseen by grown-ups who barely managed to escape childhood themselves - who learn that winning isn't everything and that losing doesn't necessarily make you a loser. (Note that the show does have some risque material that is somewhat inappropriate for younger children, but we recommend it heartily for teens.)
